 hi dear
do you think your the only 15 yr old that hates their mum? your not alone but your only a child and you should be at home unless there is a danger to you? things will get better with your mum do you brother/sister or other family if things are that bad could you not stay with them for a short time? i hope we here from you again and that things are not as bad as you may think as the thought of a 15 yr old living in a hostel alone makes me sad please let us know that you are safe

 I used to be a social housing officer in the UK and I will assume this is where you are based as you haven't said. At 15, it is usually social services who have a legal duty of care to you until you reach 16. Therefore, you should go to them and they will investigate your circumstances (i.e. confirm that your family have kicked you out). You maybe placed in foster care, or maybe in a semi-independent living hostel depending on whats available in your area. At 16, social workers can help you access social housing. It is really not easy to get a good place to live as you have to join a queue but at a minimum if you are homeless not of your own making then local authorities have a statutory duty to find you temporary accommodation, and you may claim housing benefit to cover the costs from 16. Therefore, walk into social services and see what help they can offer.

 There are a lot of resources for teens who have to live away from their parents, but you'll need to give a bit more information.
What country do you live in? Are you going voluntarily, or is there a legal reason you have to leave? Have you been a victim or a perpetrator of violence at home? Where's the rest of your family, like your dad?
If you give a bit more info, someone on here will probably be able to point you in the right direction.
