realitybias via RG:  "  st.-vincents-next-big-thing-a-shelter-for-homeless-high-school-students.csp"  with all due respect,  a homeless set up for homeless teens is apples to oranges as to the needs for an older, more diverse  street toughened bunch than 18 year olds.  i know there are some hard cases amongst the teens but there has been some level of  support still at that age.  child protective services, teachers if the teen is tenacious (kudos!) and still regularly attending school. ..if the teen has truly dropped out- the high school camp probably would be too restrictive and the teen would choose the general population if any.  so i would guess it's going to be have a a less impact on the area all together.
  st vinnies is a god send to the area.  if anyone understands the nuances in actuality of dealing with an older, homeless population , they are it.  setting up by the VA hospital could be a great thing...lots of vets out there.
