This seems to be something people don’t always give second thought to. When people talk about the homeless, the first things thought about are images of people on busy city streets in rusty clothes waiting around near allies. In there, the answer is quite static, because it can be I guess. But if that’s the case, change the setting and that changes too. In the places where I’ve lived, people often needed that mapped out. Where are they known in your rural locales?

My uncle was evicted from his house because he failed to maintain the property and let it go to shit. It was winter, so we invited him to stay in a spare room in our basement just to keep him out of the cold and give him time to sell his property and buy a trailer home.

He's still living here.

I've got a couple of 23 year old homeless people living with me now. They just need a couple months to find a place for themselves, that's what they said a year and a half ago when they moved in. I'm trying to help them out, but they really can't stay here forever.

Also one of them is my daughter.
