What do you find to be the most difficult part of housing people who have serious mental illness?
Thank you for what you do
What’s the security like if they have serious mental illness.
How does it work? Do they have to leave during the day?
How does you screen for who gets to stay every night?
Have you seen any change in the “typical” clients ? Any signs that our economy is failing ?
Do you have dorms, or shared rooms etc?
