Unfortunately, my post will be without pictures.
I would say, that people live there in normal conditions. Yes, there is not a lot of space, but still there is a bed, heating and air conditioning, shower and laundry. It doesn't stink there, it's not dirty there.
In my country (Latvia) shelters are disgusting. They have a lot of nasty smells there, everything is dirty etc.
Comparing conditions of living on campus in Ryan hall, I can say, that homeless people in shelter live the same, as we do.
Guide was very polite and talkative. She spoke clearly and I was able to understand everything she said. She answered to all the questions with pleasure and I received answers to all the questions I had before coming there.
Of course, shelter doesn't seem to be like a hotel, but still it's better than to sleep somewhere in the park, when it's cold outside.
Thanks for your post. Many people agree that the shelter is similar to dorm life!
