that really depends on your religion, aliens are known scientifically as extra-terrestrials which means that everything within our atmosphere is terrestrial and all outside of it is terrestrial to it's location. if an alien were to come to earth it would be from 2 planets making it extra-terrestrial. now the point of that is to explain the difference between aliens and religious demons
How many homeless shelters are in Boston?
The number of homeless families living in Boston has jumped for the fourth straight year, making children without a home the fastest-growing group, according to results from the mayor's annual census.
The Homeless Census showed that the number of families living in emergency shelters, transitional housing, or even in motels jumped 22 percent in the past year, from 3,175 in 2007 to 3,870 in December. The number of children without a home soared 24 percent in 2008, from 1,850 to 2,288.
As past programs have targeted the elderly and people with drug addictions and mental illnesses, city officials said a new, concerted effort is needed to assist homeless families as their numbers climb during tough economic times.
"For families, it's really about insufficient income to afford a place to live," said Jim Greene, director of the city's Emergency Shelter Commission. "Family homelessness is caused by the divide between people's incomes and housing costs, and when the gap is too great the problem gets worse."
The Homeless Census, required by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, is based on a count of the overall number of people living in emergency shelters, transitional housing, hospitals and medical facilities, hotels and motels, and on the streets on one given night.
On Dec. 15, Mayor Thomas M. Menino and about 350 volunteers including city and state officials went into Boston's neighborhoods, reaching out to people living in alleys and under bridges and referring them to shelters and programs.
City officials counted an overall total of 7,681 homeless people that night - which included individuals and family members - up from 6,930 last year, an 11 percent jump.
The census, however, also showed that while the number of families without homes has climbed, the count of homeless individuals only - those considered unaccompanied by anyone - has held steady over the last several years, a tribute to new strategies in reaching out to people living on the streets.
According to the census, the city counted 3,811 homeless individuals, compared with 3,705 last year, a 3 percent increase.
A positive sign of the survey was that the number of elderly people living on the street dropped from a high of 77 in 2004 to fewer than 30 last month.
"We have made some progress, but more needs to be done," Menino said in a statement, adding, "this census reflects the growing challenge that low-income families, especially young mothers, are facing during tough economic times."
Joe Finn, executive director of the Massachusetts Housing and Shelter Alliance, said the stable number of homeless individuals is a credit to Menino's strategy to find people homes before treatment is discussed.
Only then, he said, can officials work with someone to address the root problems that caused them to be homeless - mental illness, substance abuse, or economic woes.
Lyndia Downie, president and executive director of the Pine Street Inn, a Boston homeless shelter, said the increase in the number of families without homes is an ugly sign of the touch economic times.
"I think it's part of a trend across the country, where a combination of so many things going on with the economy are really hitting families in every way," she said.
Greene said that the homeless families often include a single parent who lost a job. In other cases, parents have jobs but still can't afford housing. Meantime, funding for housing vouchers has plunged, he said.
"We need more than just what the city can do," Greene said. "We need the state and federal government to look at the housing crisis for families. We need every level of government and the private and nonprofit sector aligning their resources to address this housing crisis."

"UFO" just means "something in the sky and you don't know what it is". I take it you mean "alien spacecraft" instead. So far, there is no known and proven alien life at all, let alone life that can travel here in a spacecraft. Someone has to be the first form of intelligent life in the universe, and there is no reason it can't be us. There are any number of things that can make lights appear in the sky, even make them "move" in ways real craft can't. But all the UFO anecdotes in the world cannot change the fact that there is no shred, yet, of hard proof.
People have seen weird things in the sky. But that has no known and proven connection to alien life, at all.
The evidence we have say yes the universe is to big and to old for us to be it we are not the kings & queens. Not to say all UFO's are UFO's only about 5% are UFO's and a smaller about are not of world.

What is it like being homeless?
absolutley sick, especially if your young and you should be partying with your friends in college or whatver the case is, the rest of your life will never be the same again because depending on how far away from family you are and how cold it is outside you will never forgive the world for this unforgivable experience, if you are young you will forget about relegion you will forget about family but you wont forget about God because if you survive you will be a living testiment that the world has no love for anybody and the only person that loves you is God...at least enough to let you live while everybody let you die off.....Now your back and ready for revenge, if you lived through it because every step is a death threat!!

How do homeless people support themselves?
Nowadays, if you find yourself homeless in the U.S., youj'd call 211 on any payphone, and the operator will direct you to the nearest facilities available to help whatever situation you might be in. (theoretically) Shelters, food pantries, medical aid, government assistance offices, etc., would be the types of information the operator can relay, right there on any phone (ie. a pay phone if you had no cell)
Is violence unjustifiable in any circumstances?
'Reading between the lines', I suspect the question may not have been carefully composed, and that the asker intended to ask "In what circumstance(s) is violence justifiable?"
Well, actually, violence is unjustifiable in practically all circumstances. As people, it seems culture and history offers us several kinds of action in the face of violence: attack, defend, escape or do nothing. As 'violence' is a wide ranging notion, one must consider what it is first, when one wants to bring about a catch-all answer.
Violence, in human interaction, is physical - from harming oneself, through person to person and on to world war. It can also be psychological, sexual, racial, religious, political and cultural (and I don't think the types end there!).
In larger-scale terms, dealing with violence tends to be classed as either 'pacifism', 'defence' and 'nonviolence'.
Nonviolence has been practised by Jesus Christ, Buddha, 'The Mahatma' Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., and Mario (Silo) Rodriguez amongst millions of others. The protesters in Burma, against the ruling military junta, are engaging in non-violence (late Sept. 2007).
I contend the only time violence is justifiable, is when one is cornered by another who is violent to you, and you have no escape nor assistance. And in such times, one must only do enough violence, if one has any choice, to create an opportunity to escape the immediate violence. From then on, to stop likely future violence, one must defend oneself and isolate, protest, shame and/or broadcast the wrong done.
Nonviolence was not really practiced by Jesus Christ. John 2:12 describes Jesus clearing the temple, which was a violent act performed out of His passion for His Father. Verse 17 states: His disciples remembered that it is written: Zeal for your house will consume me. And that it did.
Whether this justifies violence in any circumstance is hard to say. The heart and soul of Jesus is one with God, so He is therefore at one with His will as well. It would be at the very least a risk for someone to assume that God desires them to do violence againsed another person, but it could happen.
People still do believe in segregation today some even think slavery should be brought back the idiots.
What is the most common reason for people becoming homeless?
Losing a job, not being able to afford a home due to an unforeseen expense such as illness, injury or living beyond one's means, being kicked out by parents, guardians, roommates or housemates or said people suddenly passing away. There are many factors that contribute to homelessness.
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.
