[QUOTE="Crayola13, post: 752093, member: 21066"] The other idea I forgot to mention is there are churches that coordinate with the shelter to give people free bus passes for the month. When I work at the shelter, not everyone wants to take advantage of these types of services. It's very emotionally taxing for the social workers and volunteers because half of the homeless want help, but the others don't. Most of us will never be able to understand. Their minds are very complicated and over half actually choose to be homeless. Only 20% take full advantage of all the services available and get into supportive housing, job training, etc. They won't give personal information to a social worker and are content to be homeless. They only to go the shelter when the weather is -32. They see no need to live a conventional life. There is only so much we can do for them. It's easy to feel like a failure because they reject every service they are offered.I Here, the City and the shelters we have are taking so much grief about the homeless problem. [/QUOTE]
