A. You ought to be given emergency accomodation. Why did your husband not make enquiries with Army before he left. I know there would have been help to find you accommodation and if it is not too late why not go and see someone from the NAAFI who maybe able to come up with an answer. Good luck and all the best.

What cool ideas are there for presenting a homelessness documentary?

A. The worst times of day are the mornings when people in the shelters have to leave for the day and the nights when it can get very hairy out there. Look up the following people on the internet and get something from their experiences: Sister Mary Scullion Cheryl Honkala Sister Mary has been responsible for an entire city changing its policy toward homelessness and Cheryl was a homeless woman who is now the director of a program to prevent and alleviate homelessness.

A. I don't believe it is possible because it's not possible to help some who honestly don't want help. The government can't continue to keep taking from those that are working to give to those that aren't, as more people become homeless because of it! It's time for family and friends to step up and start taking care of each other and stop believing this is a problem for a broken system to keep throwing money at.

A. The money we pay in taxes supports social programs like welfare, food stamps, Medicaid, etc. An increase in poverty, in other words a higher need for these social programs, means taxpayers will have to pay more to cover the costs. There is a whole lot more, but that's the basic gist of it from a financial standpoint.

Can homelessness cause mental illness or is mental illness heightened by homelessness?
Q. I am aware that many people who are mentally ill are homeless. However weren't they already mentally ill, prior to becoming homeless?

The homeless situation lacks in stable healthy surroundings that would promote or sustain health -- and the mental health of the individual is further disrupted and endangered.

You recognize that the homeless ARE people who need help, and that while care packages help, they're a band-aid. You can organize drives to collect things like socks, toiletries (travel size) and blankets for them. Again, a band-aid, but will provide relief. You can volunteer at your local mission or daytime shelter - spend time talking to some of the people. Learn their stories. Treat them like people.
