If you’ve lost your job and exhausted your savings or been caught up in the real estate market collapse, thereby losing the home you’ve had for years, the prospect of living on the street or in your car can be pretty frightening. For young children it can be even more devastating, with the loss of all their daily routines and any semblance of stability. In this kind of situation, it can be at least mildly reassuring to discover that you can secure thirty days of temporary housing at the Saint Vincent de Paul Homeless Shelter.
