    A place to go with strings attached is not a place to go. Being required to abandon your partner, your pet, or your property is not tolerable to all. Being vulnerable to physical and sexual abuse in a “place to go” also makes it the opposite of that. A curfew? These aren’t children.

      In most cases it’s “no drugs, alcohol, or weapons” that’s the barrier to entry.
