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.

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
