Homeless Families

This CNN video is about a lady staying at the PATH homeless shelter in Los Angeles, which is one of the sites where I used to work back when I worked at two sites. Families like this, homeless with no place to go, would come in and I would help find them a shelter to stay at. This lady is one of the lucky ones who gets to stay at the PATH. PATH is clean, in a decent neighborhood, and allows residents to stay for six months. Unfortunately in Los Angeles even shelters that are in places like skid row and have a 30 day stay are almost always full. Back when I was still working we were seeing a lot of families with children come in who we couldn't place in shelters right away.
