Once you become homeless, you stay in that hole. A developmentally disabled, homeless woman who’s been on the streets since she was about eight years old. She said when she was very young, she was terrified, but now as an adult woman, she said “ I can’t not be out here” She was in special ED as a child and for some reason, her mom brought her to the streets with her. I asked her about housing and she said it is so difficult for her and many others that they just stopped.
