So, I decided to take a quick look at the local Rescue Mission. To my dismay, the Women's Center presents a scary online face. See following brief from the "Rescue Mission of Salt Lake" website:
"Overnight Accommodations: Dorm and Overflow
...
The Women's Center is a small, family-style recovery house with room for 14 women, most of whom are in the New Life recovery program. Female guests and their children are invited to stay as beds become available. Please call ahead to check availability: ###-###-####." (LINK: http://rescuesaltlake.org/emergency-services)
Hmm, I think I'll keep my distance, until A LOT is presented...as usual...

The Shelter System is officially unqualified to provide the standard-issue BAG LADY with a good enough habitat for safe resource gathering.
ReplyDeleteNowadays, Shelters throughout the World demand "BUM CLAN STATUS" identification at the front desks, which includes the process of asking each BUM for an ID card, full name, phone number, temporary place of GOLD-DIGGER residence (i.e., the "in case of emergency" contact...LAUGHABLE), etc. Sadly, one can easily imagine an individual situation that culminates around a final INTRUSIVE BOOT from the surrounding parking lot, when a simple-dimple BAG LADY is harassed for not sitting with the others (within the "PAGAN BUM CLAN FOREVER" front inside the Shelter building), while attempting to get some peaceful rest next to her bags (and perhaps a shopping cart).
*2020 Revelation about the US Shelter System = It's just REMEDIAL TRAINING (for American Secular Pagans)*
ReplyDeleteSo, I steer-clear of the 'LOW CLASS BUM'-TO-'LOWER MIDDLE-CLASS WORKER'-IN-TRAINING crowd (that only a real Secular Pagan could "labor-to-love").
