Where Do They Go ?

Honestly, I'm not positive... I know some cities have homeless shelters. I seriously doubt there are enough beds for all of them. Some churches open their doors during freezing weather to help shelter those in need. I know the closest large cities to where I live have homeless shelters. Pretty and I donate money to them when we can. (We've taken in friends when they didn't have any place to go. One friend lived with us for over a year before he got back on his feet and moved out.) Would I take in a homeless person I didn't know? Probably not. I'm nice, but not willing to take chances like that.

I don't know where they go in the states, but we get snow storms here and have homeless people, they have shelters and warming stations. For 6 months of the year they set up these trailers for them to live in to keep them out of the cold.

Probably shelters, most of them, the rest just go to die if we being honest. I nearly hit a homeless man one time just walked out in front of me. It was not a case of I was not paying attention. I usually pay very close attention to when I drive. This fool looked like he wanted to die so stepped out in front of my car. I feel bad for you sir but that is about the crappiest thing you could do to someone. Besides I am not the one that made laws to allow you to be homeless and wanting to die. Why would you do that to someone?

When we were homeless and it was so cold, we went to the shelter. It was a disgusting place full of addicts and criminals. To say the least..better off outdoors if weather permitted.

There are homeless shelters here that take the homeless in over night. They even feed them a snack and breakfast in the morning.

Fortunately I live in a rural area and do not see the homeless. It is heartwarming situation.

In tropical countries we don't have blizzards or winter but we have strong typhoons from time to time. This is really heartbreaking when people don't have secures place to go and something to eat.

I suppose many are conditioned for this kind of weather or else find places that provide shelter against the elements. Many of the homeless may be good people but there is always that one that could pose a danger to me so no I would not offer shelter in my home but if I had the money to spare I would help them find a place to rent for the night.

Fortunately here we do not get such extremes of weather not since l was a child. Our winters are fairly mild. I sat out in the garden with a cup of coffee today! Crazy its January! Nice to see a familiar face.

We had quite a few blizzards here this winter. There are shelters for the homeless. I wouldn't take a strange in but will direct them or help them get to a shelter.

Our conditions don't get as severe as yours do but I'm sure some homeless still get very cold in our winters. I guess they sleep in doorways or under bridges if they can't find other shelter.

There aren't homeless people in my area. I hope there is a shelter for them.

There are many shelters for the homeless.

Coincidentally, my place is in the tropics. So no snow. For the homeless in my country, they are taken care of by the government, by providing a foundation to accommodate them.

In Washington, DC they are required to give everyone shelter in the winter when temperatures fall below 38 degrees or less. They open shelters to accommodate people who are homeless.

It is really sad. Some if not all just suffer on the streets

Sorry to hear. Hope you are staying safe. Yes it's a problem for homeless people. We can't imagine in what condition they would be staying out. Here there are some homeless people too. It's sad
