Living in a shelter.

When I became homeless second and came in the roadstead of the army of salvation cross, as it has been designated, I felt lucky to the referral by the Director of the village of retirement security. He was one of these experiments "meant-to-be", which I have mentioned.

The shelter hosted families, single men and women. Single men and women were parts in separate rooms that six in each room. The rest of the rooms have been for families. There are two managers with staff case. We've had mandatory meetings on Tuesdays and Thursdays where more experienced case manager carried out and address different issues related to the day-to-day issues that relate to the problems that many were there for.

This is quite a fit for me, but the positive person that I am, I felt it's another experiment to learn. He gave me a different world view completely. My presence was unique to those who were there. I never asked anyone they were there for except if they have volunteered it. Some had been there due to abuse or any dry or like me had been put on the streets. There are those who simply used the system and has jumped from shelter to shelter.

Once you have agreed to stay, you have 60 days to find a job or other adaptation measures. They would rarely be exceptions and give a 30 additional days for extraordinary circumstances. I got only 30 additional days.

I've always been able to interact with anyone either blue or white collar designations. I've met, some really good people personal and residents. One of my best friends to this day I met it y. It is a truck driver who currently is again working with difficulty in finding a job. The case manager told the story of a guy who is displayed once per year, almost like clockwork (you have to wait a year before was allowed to return to). Should leave, earn money well then he lost this job and eventually return to shelter. I discovered that this friend has guys, since this is its third there. The only disadvantage to its current situation is that shelter accepts no longer has any single men.

My time at the end he I agreed to a transition facility allowing a person to live free and save money to go back on their feet. The only drawback for me was that you had to live by the budget and to report every cent spent. Now I know how to budget and when I was told that I should consider for a pack of gum I made the decision to find an affordable studio apartment. I spent three weeks at this facility. This is a great program for some, but it was not for me.
