Mizzocd, Thanks for sharing your experience. We have heard similar complaints from almost everyone we've spoken to who has lived in a shelter. As you point out, it is a last resort.. nobody PLANS to be homeless. Dr. Nunez (head of Institute for Children, Poverty and Homelessness) points out that there is another option--the city could create specialized shelters that address the causes of homelessness instead of simply providing 'shelter.'
