are there any stories with a homless mc. it doesn't have to be for the whole story just aslong as it was a major thing at one point in the story.

When you are talking about the MC being homeless, are you thinking only someone who is living on the street?
Would a man who leaves his cheating wife to live in a hotel room be considered homeless in your definition?
Also, if a story has two or more main characters would they all need to be homeless at the same time?
Maybe

The Happy Harry stories are all about homelessness, more or less, though set in a world with modern druids.
So you are looking for stories of exile? Where the MC leaves his land or city due to opposing forces?
That works as well. AmigaClone's example also works. I wouldn't wanna go anywhere near a cheating wife even if that place was my home. therefore he was forced from his home
It's only a tangential match, but perhaps with the same relentless struggle vibe that you're seeking, and warmly recommended: https://storiesonline.net/s/55125/australian-story
Ps: no bonus for the harem? Are you actually finding time to read any of the recommendations before you post the next request in the forums? ;)
From AmigaClone's example 2 I immediately thought of Wes Boyd's Square One, not on this site. However, others of his also match to some extent:
Rocinante - a young couple go on a vagabonding aerial tour of the USA
Dawnwalker - young MC travels over USA adventuring
Magic Carpet - young MC is thrown out of home by parents
Canyon Fires - Young MC escapes abusive boyfriend
Hat Trick - Young MC tours busking in an RV
River Rat - Grand Canyon tour guide lives in a tent
Picking Up the Pieces - MC forced from his home by 9/11 exclusion zone
Bullring Days One: On the Road - MC joins touring racing show
Icewater and the Alien - Another couple of Grand Canyon tour guides
Winchester Harbor - MC runs away from cheating fiancee
The Last Place You Look - Secondary character travelling to find work looses everything in a car crash
Out of the Cage - MC rejected by parents on release from Gaol (read Bird in the Hand first for backstory)
Unlinked stories may be found on his spearfishlaketales website.
Traveller by Laptop Writer.
MC is falsely accused of rape, his GF and father think he did it, so he gets on his pushbike and rides away into a new life.

Thunder and Lightening by Lazlo Zalezac
MC has near death experience, walks out on abusive wife rather than give her the killin' she so deserves, ends up living in his office before finding a house in the ghetto (which he has to fix before it's fit to move in).
Since the neighborhood he ends up in was as a result of him wanting to end being homeless as fast as possible, I'd say it qualifies.
Jay Cantrell's The Hillside should also qualify (as would most Western's where the MC was orphaned as a early teen, or had to move west because he killed someone in self-defence but the 'victim' was connected... which is what, half of them?)

It's short, it's mine, and it's about a down-and-out man living on the streets of San Francisco.

And it's a damn good story.
