Sounds to me like you're stuck in a pretty tough situation. Not having a place to stay can really affect your ability to make money.
I'd suggest taking a good luck at the opportunities around you, and trying to build from the bottom.
You'll need a lot of self-belief and optimism, but there is a way out!
How to make money when you're broke and homeless Before you worry about the long term, I'd suggest you prioritize your immediate situation.
To turn your life around, you're going to need to take things one step at a time. The following things are going to be vital:
Your priority should be to get somewhere to stay, and make sure you have enough food and water to get you through the next couple of weeks.
Charities like Crisis have adviser that are trained to help in this situation, so help is really just on the other end of a free phone number.
Getting off the streets and into employment Money is going to be really important in turning things around. Jobs can be hard to come by, but if a chance comes along, grab it! Everyone has worked a job they absolutely loathed, but getting some cash in your back pocket is worth it.
A lot of construction companies take on laborers when they need an extra hand on site, so that could be a good place to start. Busking and begging can be a quick-fix solution, but it is unlikely to lift you out of your situation quickly.
Finding a place to sleep and shower will make a difference on whether you'll be able to find a job.
Getting enough money for even for the most basic accommodation can be tough, but the sense of achievement you'll get from securing your own place should be used as an incentive to struggle through the tough times.
Until you do have your own place, couch surfing might be an option.

To turn your life around, you're going to need to take things one step at a time. The following things are going to be vital:
- Enthusiasm- as hard as it seems, you're going to need to get positive and proactive
- Humility- You can't be ashamed to accept help. Family, friends, charities; if there's someone that can help, then you should be asking.
- Belief- It's not going to be all plain selling, you'll need a lot of belief to get over the hurdles (there will be plenty of those)
- Drink and drugs- It might be a bit of a stereotype that homelessness and substance abuse go together, but it's a stereotype for a reason. If you have an issue with drink or drugs you are going to have to find a way to deal with it (not as easy as it sounds, I know).
