I run a needlecraft group at a local women's homeless shelter and, while there are some there - homeless because they lost jobs and so their homes - who would probably benefit from GFS's way of dealing with the problem, there are a lot of women at this shelter who have mental health and/or addiction problems. No way would it be a good idea to try taking them into your home, either for you or for them. They need specialised help to try and get them to a place where they can do for themselves and some of them will always need sheltered accommodation because they are too fragile to cope in the outside world. 'Care in the community' was one of the worst ideas for these people.

This guy in Hawaii should maybe spend a few days living in a homeless shelter, talk to the people there and maybe get to understand that, in a lot of these cases 'there but for the grace.....'.
