When I was homeless, I was placed on a waiting list and sent to "my" freight elevator/park bench to count the days. My number came up and I was called into an office. I was verbally introduced to a program that would take control of my finances and then send me wherever they had something available. Some of the cities mentioned might as well have been Kansas. I said no thanks, I'll stay on the streets. I waited for a longer time and another program opened up. They didn't take control of my finances and they allowed me to choose exactly where I wanted to apply for a lease. That was 20 years ago, and I have lived happily ever after.
