Yet, these accommodations end quickly. So the person moves on, often with children in tow. They move on to the next sofa, or the next floor, until there are no sofas or floors left on which they are welcome. So you see, homelessness is a condition that perpetuates itself. It is a complete loss of control.
Individuals become homeless when they can no longer manage the course of their lives.
This happens as a result of job loss, substance abuse, and mental illness. Recovery Works shows people the actions they can take which will lead them back to manageable lives. We help them regain their self determination, through the principles and ethics of work, spirituality, and self respect.
