FamilyFunds, not because it's easier to move a new family in a good house, but because i can easily take money from them :D I just give them the right amount of money for a empty lot, not the usual 20k. Harder but funnier :D

This actually sounds like playing homeless Sims. :D
I've done it in TS3 and TS4 and as soon as I come up with about $300 to replace my hard drive and transfer data, I'm gonna do it in TS2. It will be a bit odd, and I will need to set up a homeless shelter, but it is fakeable in TS2.

It's easier in TS3 and TS4, really. In 3 & 4 you can just walk a bit to find food to eat and collectible to sell, so by the end of the day your sims have some food and a small amount of money. In 2 you have to grow food, but to do so you need to pay for a small garden, and so one. Really hard, but so fun :D

Oh, I know it must be easier in 3&4. That will be the challenge in 2.
They won't be growing a garden for a while though. I'm going to set up a "homeless shelter" on a community lot with tents, public bathrooms, grills and maybe a pond to fish and zone it as hotel. I have a comm skill mod (which I think everyone should have anyway) and I will place chess boards and perhaps an easel on a public beach (and that way the child can comb for seashells to contribute to income also).
I'll set rules like I can only build a bedroom with beds at energy and comfort no higher than the tents on the lot when they reach 5K. Then I have the choice to upgrade the beds or build a bathroom once reaching 5K again and so on.
It will be weird because they won't age unless they are there on the lot at 6pm and the child won't go to school unless they are on the lot between 8-9am, I'll form my rules about that around the limitations as I see them unfold. I want to set a max time at the homeless shelter before they must come home for designated minimum amount of time.

I'm looking forward to making this work. :D
