Research on the homeless problem is challenged by the very nature of homelessness. The populations make up of a heterogeneous group of men and women and children with diferent reason for being without a home and varied personal resources and needs that are often unique.

Most are poor and unemployed, but some are not without job skills, some are homeless as a way of life. Many use shelters, but a significant number shun ofcial crisis shelter. Programs, preferring instead to live in public places.

We hope that by providing a place for the women of Flint to recieve support and sanctuary that we can help shine light into a community often shouded by darkness.
