Daniel and housing

Housing (obviously) refers to the home one lives in. To Daniel, housing is something that he has lacked for a significant amount of his adult life, and one that he has always taken for granted when he did have it.

Daniel has stayed in several forms of housing throughout his life. When he was born and into his early childhood, it can be presumed that he lived in the home of either of his parents. After the state of Colorado's child protective services took him from his mother's care due to alleged neglect, he was housed in the home and made the ward of Nancy Shimer, his grandmother. For another brief time when he was a teenager, he was also in the residential program of the Tennyson Center for Children. When he turned 18, these services for him ceased, and he began residing in group homes. During the Classic Era, the most notable group home that he stayed in was owned by Jonas, his then-caretaker, which also housed his wife and a housemate named Gavin. The house was known as the Hype House, and was a hub of constant chaos. On December 1 2021, he ran away from Jonas' home, then staying in an assisted-living apartment for about a week or so. He was then evicted, and from thereon was homeless. After making numerous violent and terroristic threats from 2022 onwards, he was arrested on 30 April 2024, and has been incarcerated ever since, therefore ending his long state of homelessness for the foreseeable future.

As a resident, Daniel is someone unsavory. Due to his innumerous mental illnesses and the influences of trolls, he often gets into violent confrontations with his housemates, or causes serious damage to the house itself. In Jonas' home, he kicked holes in walls, smashed a lamp at least once, and caused other forms of damage to the furnishings and walls. It was these actions that often got him evicted from one group home after another.
