The Cost of Survival is a powerful hybrid of research, memoir, and poetry that explores what it means to live unhoused as a queer person in small city America.

Blending lived experience with broader social realities, Jai Montag offers an unflinching yet deeply human look at homelessness-one that moves beyond statistics to reveal the daily calculations, identity-based risks, and quiet resilience of survival.

This is not just a story of hardship. It is a call for dignity, safety, and change.

Montag, Jai: -

Jai Montag is a writer of literary fiction and nonfiction. Their work examines endurance, refusal, and the quiet architectures of belonging, with a focus on clarity over consolation and recognition over redemption.

Their nonfiction often takes essay-driven forms that resist explanation and spectacle, while their fiction explores interiority, constraint, and the unspoken negotiations that shape human connection.
