Through a drop-in center he now has a "home" for 90 days. It's way uptown, but instead of a giant shelter, it's a house with 4 -5 bedrooms, 3 - 4 men to a room. It's age limited for 18 - 24 yr. olds.
He's gets breakfast and dinner, a weekly subway card, sheets, towels, soap...etc. He has to be out by 9 am and not allowed back in until 7 pm. They will allow him to continue on methadone unlike 90% of existing shelters.
He sounds much more positive. Continues to be looking for work (not a great time in todays economy) and is doing some serious thinking about his next step.
I'll take it---worry factor has gone out of the Red Zone down to High Normal...Wahoo!! But One Day At a Time.
Thanks for all the support...much appreciated.
