I am in a shelter right now here today and I've been in this shelter for a year since July of 2011. Homeless people stay in shelter until they find houses and that could take months to a year. Once I've been in a shelter for 2 years almost 3. Hope that helped!

In most cities there are shelters that give many of the homeless population a place to sleep and usually a meal. The problem is that there are too few shelters and far too many homeless people. The shelters fill up fast, especially in cold weather. The alternative is a night curled up under a tree or bridge, hopefully in a place where they won't be victimized by whomever happens by. Homeless people are quite often targets of crime. The Salvation Army and St. Vincent de Paul are two organizations that help the homeless and destitute. There are many others by different names, sometimes local churches can provide some relief in their community.
