Emerging populations in need of services:
Youth especially those graduating from the foster care system
Women with children who cannot find shelter because they are always full.
Severely mentally ill women looking for an emergency shelter
Homeless people with chronic health problems—changes in the health care system do not make special arrangement so that homeless people can recover in a hospital bed.
Men and Women with a felony conviction who cannot find housing or a job.
Men who work full time, but cannot find a job that pays more than $7.00 per hour. Plagued by debt and/or dead end job.
What most homeless people share:
A lack of family support.
They have alienated their family or do not have a family in the area or their family is already overburdened and cannot take in another member.
There is also a very real misunderstanding about the services offered by Homeless Service Providers—Shelters are not the ticket to housing.
All of the problems that we are so familiar with are contributing factors to lead people to the street or keep a person on the street.
