I NEVER used to have ANY compassion for homeless people until I got involved with doing some creative work raising the profile of a homeless charity.
Turns out that most people are homeless because of years of sexual or mental abuse, usually by their parents or family members, and then drugs take hold because they need to escape from the shit they went through. It's not always about a roof over their head, money, or shelter, it's about taking really small steps towards understanding their individual needs.
For example, some cannot face being in a house because it's linked to the trauma of their dad botting them furiously every day of their lives.
So, yeah, just thought I'd share what I've learned from it... my view has completely changed.
