Answer
Shalom!
Thank you for your question.
As a general rule, a mezuza is not to be used for any purpose other than on the doorposts of a home.
Although, a mezuza on the doorpost of a home does indeed have protective properties, it is a misconception that these protective properties can be aroused when using a mezuza differently, such as by wearing a mezuza necklace.
One who has no home is, unfortunately, Is not subject to the mitzva of mezuza.
