Homeless Era
In March 2022, Daniel ran away from his caretaker Jonas and housemate Gavin, starting the Homeless Arc.
Arc Trigger
Before this arc started, Daniel was living with a host named Jonas (Jonez / Jonaz) and a housemate named Gavin. The household was in a constant state of chaos, [1] and at one point Daniel was "poisoned" with mustard or jalapeños in his Mac and Cheese. Daniel fled from the house, as he was tired of the chaos that ensued within Jonas' household. The departure may have also been influenced by one of his troll managements. This "manager" informed him that Grace VanderWaal was in Colorado Springs, and that Daniel had 24 hours to get there (from Denver) if he wanted to be with her.
Survival
To some people's surprise, Daniel has been able to survive through various means, such as dine and dashing or relying on fans to pay for meals. Since he is almost constantly on his phone (see: him running an entire marathon, phone in hand), he would usually charge his phone at restaurants or other public areas. Occasionally, he resorted to trespassing.
Wear and Tear
Being without a home does not provide the ample opportunity for bathing, but it doesn't help that Daniel will actively refuse it. Daniel was in a visibly dirty state for months on end.
"Conclusion" of Homeless Arc
The Homeless Arc came to a close when Daniel was approached by Briiink, two teenage boys who were fans of Daniel. Briiink took Daniel out for meals, bathing, and a haircut, allowing him to look presentable to the public once more. Daniel was then introduced to Twitch, a popular streaming service, by "Ox", a discord user. Through Twitch, he was able to receive donations to where he could afford to stay in a hotel and AirBnB, where he currently resides.
Return of the Homeless Arc
While Daniel still occasionally streams on Twitch (as of 7/28/2022) his housing situation is far from stable. Daniel has also broken his phone, making it difficult to make contact with people.
Broken Phone
On July 26th, 2022, Daniel broke his phone by throwing it in a heated argument with his "mentor". Daniel never says who this mentor is in this case, but usually when Daniel references his mentor, it is Bob (or a Bob impersonator). Daniel could have also been speaking about Brink. While Daniel is explaining the situation, he accidentally drops and breaks his new $300 tablet "that he was forced to buy".
DDRC Visit
On July 27th, 2022, Daniel visited the DDRC to try and get housing and explain his court situation
The End?
On August 31st, Daniel was finally placed into a home where he will live. [citation needed]
Not the End
As some may have predicted, Daniel was kicked out of his housing on October 16th, 2022, along with receiving a $1000 citation. "Miss P" told police that she was in fear for her life because of Daniel "and his popularity".
Transported To Colorado Springs
On October 19th Daniel spent some time with "new friends" at Dave & Buster's. The next day, on October 20th, after spending the night in a hotel, they brought Daniel up to Colorado Springs where they realized that Daniel was too much and abandoned him at a Walgreens. Daniel felt forced to walk back to Denver, he made it to Monument, Colorado before being picked up by some other fans. That night, Daniel refused to go to a homeless shelter because he thought he was too famous.
Preparing for the Cold
Daniel spends most of his time in Denver, Colorado, with average lows of 23 degrees during the winter.[1] Daniel has never been homeless during the winter, causing some to question his ability to survive in these conditions. Daniel has already been forced to spend a night in an elevator with other homeless men.
Homeless Elevator
On October 25th, 2022, Daniel uploaded a video in which he is sharing an elevator with three other presumably homeless men. Lighters are visible in the video, indicating that there was some drug use, but no use is directly seen.
An unknown Larson enthusiast tracked down the location to 39°45'23.5"N 105°00'06.9"W matching the metal grating seen in the video with the stairs going up to the pedestrian bridge located here.
