Who are these homeless people and where do they come from?

Out of every crisis comes the choice to be reborn,
To reconceive ourselves as individuals,
To choose the kind of change that will help us
to grown and fulfill ourselves more completely.
-Nena O'Neill

At the onset one must acknowledge those we typically think of when we hear the word homeless. 
It usually conjures images of people walking the streets, sleeping on benches or  in doorways, these are the most visible homeless people. 
But there is another side of homelessness that is not so readily recognizable in the community. 
These homeless people can be friends you went to school with, friends of your children, patrons of your stores and restaurants, family members. 
They are abused  women and children in your neighborhoods who until today were unable or afraid to leave their  situation, they are mothers trying to rear children alone, they are women unable to repair unsafe conditions in their homes, they are recovering alcoholics and narcotics abusers struggling with  day-to-day sobriety, they are people living with mental illness. 
They are Members of our community.

Few journeys through life are uninterrupted,
Take these pauses as a time to reflect, refresh, & recharge
And they cease to be perceived as interuptions.
-From The Key to Life
