Its unfortunate that your boyfriend is homeless but you have to look at the bigger picture - why is he homeless & why isn't he working? Do you have to provide for him? Is there more than you can handle right now if you were to stay in this relationship?

Although you shouldn't be judgemental towards his situation - weigh the pros and cons and do what right for you - Good Luck

A homeless person is someone who Does not have a traditional house that they pay for the conditions that they may be and can very if your couch surfing and you're at a friends house but you don't pay for it and you have no one else to go but they're your condition is probably better than someone he sleeps on the street in the rain was nothing but a small blanket they usually do not have access hygienic facilities or food

Nothing

Mostly people who live in homeless shelters and cannot afford to purchase new cloths. Then they will get some of the donations. Goodwill might also sell the cloths and give most of the prophits to a homeless shelter or a soup kitchen.

I think it's just that people react differently to difficult situations. In Liz's case, she just couldn't face her sister, Lisa, and have to stay away in order to keep bad memories away, I guess? soz if this doesn't help

I guess that question starts with a definition of what your outlook is?

I'm homeless and in Portland, Oregon. In the last twenty years this town has done a great job helping the homeless. There are many outreach programs and shelters, meals are easy to find, meals that keep you feed, not to write home about!

Shelters will never out number the people that need them.

If you need help in this city it is here but you will need to be a strong person not

one looking to have someone do your work for you, there's always the upper class of whiners here that deserves better?

The shelters, I assume being the same anywhere, go from OMG! to not bad at all.

It can be said I'm a very easy going sort but after months find I was climbing the walls hoping for a better existence, I've never had to seek help,or live with such a mix of people. being grateful for the help in time of need remember a shelter is not owed to you by birth you asked for the help,and it's given by chance, be grateful it can get a lot worse.

P.S. just to sum it up there's days I feel like I'm going bonkers!

Hobos used many marks to communicate with each other,One of the most popular was to draw a cat on a fencepost in front of someone's house. That meant a kind lady lives here and there is a good chance of getting food,clothing, or work.

Yes they do but not exclusively. People from all walks of life commit crimes and start fires, not just the homeless and not all homeless people commit crimes and start fires.

sleeping in shelters---sleeping in your car---- on park benchs---eating in a soup kitchen on Christmas and other holidays-- now you can be homeless and not have one of the above answers-- you can have a job and still be homeless like--- sleeping in a hotel room---sleeping at various friends homes---- sleeping in the back room where you work---- taking the subway from one end to the other all night long----you can also be homeless even if you live at home, avoiding family members spending all your time on the computer in your room answering recent questions on Wiki--- having no relationship with any of your immediate family is a form of homelessness

I think yes, people in jail do live better than homeless people. Why?

People in jail get fed and have a bed.

People that are homeless, dont have that kind of ability. They cant make friends, esually, they dont get fed, or get fed poorly, and they get to see people that cant help them in any sort of way.

When you meet such a person you don't "lend", but "give" that person the money. I'm soft-hearted such as you and hate to see anyone hard up, but I learned my lesson when I found out how much some of these people can make in a day (tax free!) When my husband and I leave a Mall in our hometown there is a meridian in the middle of the highway and every single day there is this young girl approx. 23 years old with a sign around her neck saying, "Please help me. I'm hungry. Been traveling and haven't eaten in 2 days." At first (while at a stop light) I handed her about $3 in change. I began to realize this same girl was there every single day and every weekend and she was making big bucks! If one stops to think of it how about these people do a job to earn a meal or a place to stay! They're lazy and they could be doing more. There is a man at the liquor store that sits by the door on a blanket and says nothing, but when you go into the liquor store he holds open the door with a smile. He is the only peddler I will give a buck too. At least he was doing something. So no, to your answer. These people have facilities they can go too and get a meal or get used clothing and most people are quite capable of doing a chore for a meal or a place to stay. During the 40s many men were out of jobs and I was just a little girl but can remember a few men coming to the door and asking my mother if she had any odd jobs in exchange for a meal. My mom would get them to haul in sawdust for the furnace or perhaps fix the fence or gate (she never let them in the house) and she would make them lunch and I would sit on the porch with the man having my lunch and chatting up a storm. My mom would send him off with a small paper bag with sandwiches and cookies to take with him. Those were the days when people actually earned their way even if they were hard up. Here's a cute little story that happened to me when I was in my early 20s. Just like you my heart was on my sleeve so it was not unusual for me when I saw someone in trouble to try and help. One morning I was going to work and I was wearing my brand new cashmere coat I had bought myself. It was early in the morning and I spotted this old lady sitting on the curb with her face cupped into her hands. Of course my heart went out to her. I didn't want to frighten her so I asked if I could help and then I put my hand on her shoulder and she jumped up like she was shot out of a cannon and started calling me filthy names and them tossed a gob of spit at the speed of light right onto my new coat! LOL I was stunned! There was a businessman that happened to see this and he took the woman by the scruff of her collar and gave her his hanky and made her clean the gob of spit off my coat (as I was gagging! LOL) I learned my lesson well! As hard as it is you MUST ignore these people. Most of it is a con game and it's easier to pan-handle than it is to do a task to earn your keep! Stop giving away your money! If you feel the need to help the needy then there are volunteer jobs to do so and the needy come to these facilities.

where can I find a sample cover letter for applying for a homeless shelter job

Please be more specific as to what state you are referring to.

People become homeless because they don't make enough money to afford housing. If they have children, the children will also become homeless because their parents can't afford a place to live.

Its all individual feelings. If u r broad minded, u won't need anything more than a little quantity of food to survive, some clothes to cover yourself and shelter to live. :)

There are 744,000 homeless men and women in the United States as of 2008.

Probably not "in" the shelter, but I'm sure you could park it outside.

A lot of homeless people have families, but a lot of them don't.
