Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI have had some people ask what a walk in center is...
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10023900293It is also know as a day center or a drop in center. It is a place for street people to get mail, wash clothes, get showers, even a lunch at some. It is also a place to get info on what is going on in the community.
Places like this also do things like flu shots. Sometimes a Medical Van will be there so they can get health issues handled.
Thank you to those that have asked! I hope that this helps answer questions for others that were wondering

And I will. Job hunting for the mot part. At Library right now checking listings, e-mail and talking on DU.

(154,021 posts)I would prefer to do more by the way, and per force that includes homelessness.
But most people, when you ask them, are either willfully ignorant, or in denial, or both.

(154,021 posts)part of it is that governments, yes governments, do not want to even admit they have a large homeless population. Good example of this, my county board of Supervisors. We do not have homeless in Lakeside, really, and I have an aircraft carrier for sale, with a bridge to go with it.
