This is a difficult question to answer because I'm not sure if it's coming from a teenager or an adult. If this is someone under 18, please view your legal rights where you are located. In many places, it is considered child abandonment to kick someone under 18 out of a house and is considered a crime. If the person asking the question is 18 or older, try contacting family and friends. See if anyone is willing to help you out. Also, seek your communities resources. There are a lot of resources available in almost every area to help keep someone on their feet or to just help with advice. Good luck to you!

Depending on where you live and how old you are a lot of things can happen. From personal experience I couched surfed until I was able to get on my feet. I was emancipated once I found a stable job and was able to save enough money for a car. I then went to a transitional housing, where I was given a case manager and a place to stay. I got 3 months free rent and started paying how ever much I could after that. Once I didn't need the housing anymore I was given back a percentage of the rent I paid them! Transitional housing is amazing but there are many cons to it. It's a great way to have a semi-permanent place and they help you become independent. There are also many organization to help homeless youth! If you can't immediately apply for those types of housing, you can go to the homeless youth centers or find a friend or family member to stay with. You can also turn yourself in to local police and they may be able to help you find a foster family to stay with until you can return back to your house or find a more permanent residence for you.
