Question

Where do the homeless go to eat & sleep when there are no shelters or county funding ? What about the children

Answer 1

May find stores that are open and camp out in the bathroom or simply have to sleep out in the open.

When I worked nights there was a guy that I used to see with his shopping cart that sleep on the covered sidewalk on the side of a business every night I would pass on my way home.

Another time I went into the post office on my way home(1am) and was started to see a man in a corner next to a counter. What started me was I did not notice him until I saw movement out of the corner of my eye.

Answer 2

they have to find some place they can sleep without being in the public so that they want be harassed by "the real citizens of the towns",its ridiculous how that situation is handled...

Answer 3

Some sleep on the streets, under bridges.. Salvation army here has a shelter for men but it's only open at night.. It's sad but around the country most of the homeless shelters stay full to capacity with the economy the way it is.. They eat out of dumpsters.. During the weekday, there are a lot of places that open that feed them lunch but on the weekend and at night, they are pretty much on their own. A lot of times, child welfare will take the children and put them in foster care if the parents are homeless because it's called child neglect.. It seems like the govt would do something to help but it's much easier to clog up the foster care system than to help solve the problem.  They could take the money that they are paying foster care parents and open more shelters but as I said, that might solve the problem and govts create problems.not solve them.. hope that helps

Answer 4

In my area, they sleep under overpasses, dig in dumpsters in back of restaurants and panhandle. And this is in a city where there are services.



Most homeless with kids end up in shelters or are helped by some kind of county services.

Answer 5

they have to find somewhere safe and dry to sleep, where they are ot going to get moved on by the police, as for food they beg or go through litter bins, if they have children alot of the time councils will put them in b and b's well they do where I live
