Homeless at Starbucks: Why the Coffee Chain is Bringing in Social Workers

3. thank you. it's a heartbreaking situation/problem

but just giving up degrades all of us at some level. It needs to be pointed out some people are doggedly pushing forward in an effort to help and serve. And yes, it can be done. And something is always better than nothing. (if for no other reason than the 'humanity' it demonstrates - which is so huge - just ask!)

Big shout out to the libraries - they're a rock. At the same time - we need 20 times the number of 'professionals' out there - that know the system (for what it's worth), and know what they're doing. Shout out also to many, many LE people - who really don't have the training - but at the same time are trying extremely hard to meet needs that they really not equipped (or resourced) to deal with.
