Reply #106: I asked you about the local shelters , I didn't say shelters where

the answer to homelessness.
Your the one who posted this article which mentioned people not being able to spend every night there due to their regulations.
If you're going to be an advocate for anyone, including yourself, playing the victim while being rude and abrasive will not get you far.
We have 2 "shelters" in our town,they are greatly appreciated by those who have used them.
There are people who want to remain free,so they camp during the warm months and use the shelter during the winter.
Last week a young man who wasn't using the shelter, fell asleep near his campfire, he was extremely intoxicated and caught on fire.
He is now in a burn unit in Boston, 3rd. degree burns on both legs, and will be there for about 6 months.
Others are in between getting a residence, others just lost their apts, others just got out of jail or the local rehab.
If people want help there's many services available to start the process for housing, medical help, food stamps, etc.
Then there's the clients who have burnt every bridge with most local landlords.
Many people do not want these services,and there are many people and families who get up and running again.
I would also love affordable decent housing,and not have to spend much too much of my salary on it. You never address all the issues involved with each person who is homeless,you just rant and rage how all is entitled,
