CTV's Barb Higgins spent last night in the old Brick building on 16th avenue that was converted into a homeless shelter. She wrote about her experiences in her blog. Very eye opening and worth the read. Clears up alot of misconceptions about the homeless.

Most of the people I have talked to have jobs. It is clear to me they are not ‘far gone’. They are focused. They keep their heads down and they keep to themselves. There is nothing scary about them.
