So what is it exactly that defines homelessness? Is it the lack of a large timber or brick stucture to house our possessions? How about foks that live in RV's and travel? Or the folks who choose to live in tents. What is it that makes one homeless? The material we surround ourselves (and our stuff) with? Is the difference between steel, wood, stone, straw, canvas or cardboard? Or is it the quantity rather than quality that matters? A tent is ok, but a sleeping bag or blanket isn't? Or... Is it the lack of a mailing address? Hum... perhaps it's the lack of choice that matters most. If we have no choice... no hope... no options... we're put in a box - slapped with a label - and the rest is history. During the depression, most of the country fit this category. And this can't happen to us because... ???
