[QUOTE="Lil, post: 643565, member: 17309"] Our shelter is a residential shelter. Most people stay long-term, 90 days or so. But there are people who don't want to be residents or, like my kid, get kicked out for infractions of the rules. Those people don't get rooms, don't get to use the lounge, etc., but they are allowed - if it's under a certain temperature (and they pass the breathalyzer) - to sleep on cots in the lobby at night. Hence, "cold-cotting". They can be in the cafeteria when the residents are not eating meals and that's it. Sleep in lobby until 6:30 a.m., sit in cafeteria at tables (but get kicked out of there for about 2 hours at meal times). We know there's no way to "ensure" any outcome here. But we think this is the last, best chance for him. He may fail, but it won't be because he didn't have every chance. He'll be 20 years old in April. It's time. And yes...we need some peace. Hopefully for good, but I'll take just for a while...like 6 months. lol Stand or fall, he's on his own then. [/QUOTE]
