Buy trust, respect, and have a needed skillset you can barter with. It can be car mechanic to organizational skills, so long as you do it well and have the trust and respect of others you can work well.
A trick I learned is to be everyone's friend. Learn to tell jokes and have a nice conversation. I've seen my dad stop a man from destroying his office by just being friendly and chatting. It's how I survived Seattle for so many years.
Learn other skills that you can do well enough that the basics are easily done. This includes cleaning, car stuff, organizing, yard work, and cooking. If you can prove you're not trying to be a freeloader, and could survive on your own with better circumstances, less people will complain.
Collect items you like. If you have extras, trade them for other stuff.
