THE GUARDIAN - HOMELESSNESS COALITION GOVERNMENT Hannah Fearn reporting.
"Rogue operators are setting up services for homeless people without experience or understanding of their needs, cashing in on our spiraling housing crisis.
This summer I reported on alarming levels of neglect and abuse: hostels run by dealers picking up drug-dependent clients, alcoholics placed in hostels with a licensed bar, women sexually assaulted, vulnerable young people placed next to residents with a history of offending, buildings in poor physical condition."

We've heard a lot about similar things going on at shelters here in Southern California. THATS WHY WE SAY "IF YOU AREN'T SAFE IT SHOULDN'T BE CALLED A SHELTER!"
