• Homelessness is an isolating experience. Although most homeless persons find in shelters or welfare places for themselves hotels or the street. They do not have community ties and neighborhood contacts that sustain most of them. They may become familiar faces in an area, and they may find safe refuges that offer protection from the elements but they are tolerated, at best.
