A Freedom Trail

Wraparound Services When one of our editors, Mr. Tell, proposed the concept of a path from streets to housed, the concept hit home with Doc. Transitioning from one particular world view to another, or from a homeless lifestyle to a housed one, is a process, a path to follow. Putting our homeless from where they are currently into a housed situation, as in the housing first ideology, will require a freedom similar to what they are experiencing now, a volitional transition....
