[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 639795, member: 1550"] From what I've read, books written by those who have been homeless, not only are there shelters, but the homeless community makes bonfires in the winter. There are also 24/7 laudromats and 24/hr. shopping places, like Walmart. But I got the feeling they liked the bonfires. If the weather becomes exceedingly cold, at least here, they open warming houses where people can stay. Thirty degrees, unless you are wearing shorts, will not kill anybody. A good blanket is usually available at a shelter for free as are coats, hats, gloves and scarves. This doesn't make it easier on Mom, I'm sure, but they, weirdly, are choosing to live outdoors rather than follow very basic rules in our house. It really was THEIR decision because they could have decided, "Well, nobody can monitor what I do outside, but I'll be polite and helpful around the house and I'll get a job so I can help with expenses." I think most of us would let a grown child like that stay inside with us. [/QUOTE]
