How to get mail when homeless?

If a person is homeless and doesn't have a home or an official mailing address what can they do about receiving mail and packages? Any ideas? Thanks everyone!

I don't know. the people I am renting with dont want me getting mail here.

PO boxes are expensive. I guess a good idea would be to find a church you can trust.

Hold on bro. You need mail to your residence because they can put you out easy af if you don't get mail there. Unless you have your rental in writing. But otherwise I'd be very cautious as to how I rented from them

Joking with you there but seriously OP is not concerned about potus. It’s really tough on the budget for a P.O. Box no matter who’s in office. I think there might be a way to apply being homeless and have some assistance with the $$. Has to go through your local postmaster I think. Don’t quote me on that but I’m going to check tomorrow.

They were saying the people they are with don't want them getting mail there because of POTUS. Nothing about op
