Yes, our county housing authority is wonderfully proactive about abolishing the reasons for homelessness. The family is in a small apartment, the mom is in a retraining program, the girls are all in school, and they get food, counseling, vaccinations, and all the necessities.

The counselors ask each one in the family about their favorite things and favorite colors, and then our group makes each family member her own quilt. It seels so good to do good. And like my gran used to say, "It's better to light one small candle than to curse the darkness."

So much homelessness here is women with small children, due to domestic abuse. It's so good to see these folks get a fresh start.
