Speaking of more cheap food ideas, here are some other inexpensive breakfasts that continue to serve me well:
• 2 or 3 hard-boiled eggs with a piece of fruit. (It's apple and pear season now; orange/tangerine season is next.)
• Raisin bran with 1% milk. We buy the store brand cereal at Deals, and it's never run me more than $2.50/box.
• Toast with applesauce on top — works great with a hard-boiled egg and an orange on the side.
• Breakfast steak with a serving of fruit or vegetables.
• Plain or vanilla yogurt mixed with berries and bran flakes. (Best to try when yogurt is on sale and berries are in season.)
but no one wants to hear about all that lol, they would rather run their yaps about how "hipsters" are making there neighborhoods less infested with criminals and children that drain that kill classrooms, "day just beez wantin to be havin a dolla stow up on da block ya feel may"
Probably nothing except affordable housing with a very lucky application and then a studio apartment for $975.
A lot depends on race. If you are white, other benefits will not be forthcoming...racism is rampant in City welfare offices.
Not true. Anyone who wants medicaid can get it.
Housing assistance is extremely difficult to get as Section 8 takes NO NEW APPLICANTS since 2009. Other housing programs exist (including for HIV) but you have to be within certain categories to qualify. A woman with kids in a shelter would more easily get housing assistance. Of course welfare programs for rent are not accepted in nice parts of town so one would have to move to bad parts of Brooklyn or bad parts of the Bronx most likely. Unless you got the one shot deal to help you with back rent (but for this you need to demonstrate ability to pay moving forward).
He may qualify as an "anyone who wants Medicaid" but he certainly WILL NOT get it.
You shouldn't be using those words.. If he lives in state that has something for the medically needy and transitional medicaid that has no income limit he very well can get it.

OP does not have a child. Thus I stand by what I said: he earns too much for Medicaid.

As always, a pleasure to read another Kefir King post. Just a few things to add:
Am assuming this single 22 year old without children making 39K is living in New York State.
Medicaid Income Eligibility for single adults who are not disabled or blind
To be eligible for Medicaid, he would have to reduce his monthly income to $1354 or less. New York expanded Medicaid for single adults to 138% of the Federal Poverty Level as part of the Affordable Care Act.
If he were blind, over 65 or disabled, the amount of income he could have and still qualify for Medicaid would be $825/month.
What if his income were more than $825?
He could have an income above this if he were blind, elderly or disabled and:
a) applied and was accepted into the "Medicaid Spend down" program;
b) Spent the difference between $825 and his monthly income ($39,000/12 = $3,250) on prescription medications EVERY MONTH, which in his case would be spending at least $2,425 each month on meds ($3,250 - $825 = $2,425); and
c) Faxed the receipt for that payment to Medicaid.
He would have to repeat Steps a-c every month.
If the whole "faxing the receipt" business is too much effort, IF HE HAD MEDICAID SPEND-DOWN he could just write a check for $2425 each month and send it to Medicaid. But he would only be eligible to do this is he were blind, elderly or disabled.
