An hour ago I received contact from someone looking for help on my other site. Doesn't sound new to homelessness, and sometimes stays in his storage room where he has some of his belongings.
The biggest setback is his wanting to return to 'normal', trying to put one priority above another when it simply hasn't worked in the past. It sucks, but the thing that homeless people have to face first in breaking out of the cycle comes down to the same thing:
Where can I sleep regularly and safely, every night?
They don't get it. The same story of why they're not able to get a bed revolves around following potential leads to jobs, putting them at the bottom of the list for having missed a bed opening that afternoon. Or maybe the staff sees them constantly in just at night and thinks they're gaming the system.
If you're on the streets here's a hint: the way off quickest is to get in a line for a permanent bed, and STAY THERE!
Without the bed, there's no shower regularly for that potential job you might get. It's the same as Akoya pearls taking time as opposed to aux faux.
