Thanks liamssoft, considering we live in one of the best countries in the world, homelessness is just unacceptable. I spent some time in Kingston, Ontario (statistically one of the richest areas in the country) and the youth homeless rate was incredible. And they only had 1 youth homeless shelter that was open part time.
And this is with 12 year old kids living on the streets.

I think one of the biggest obstacles for the homeless is the bureaucracy of social assistance. Severe sleep-deprivation, hunger, and a largely structureless daily routine can make well-intentioned social programs well out of reach for people who need it most. Hopefully this program will help make that transition a little easier.
