(cont) How do we help women and children escaping from abusive domestic situations?  In sum, each homeless person has his/her own set of presenting issues which contributed to homelessness.  Making homelessness more tolerable is a first step; but it is only a first step.  We need to address those issues which resulted in homelessness and help individuals "recover" from that homelessness.... Until we do that, we will only see the numbers increase.  Gary Crum
