    What does owning adequate clothing even mean?

    Here in California, I can go to a local shelter right now and get all of these things. Except adequate clothing because I don’t know what that even means.

      I’d assume adequate clothing means clothing that fits properly, and is appropriate for the climate and weather.

      Sometimes I see homeless people wearing shoes that look way to big for them and I’m guessing it’s because that was the closest they could find that fit on their feet so they just had to go with that. It’s really not adequate though because it could be a tripping hazard.

        Additionally, facilities to wash clothing. This was one of the biggest struggles when I was homeless.

        Homeless people pick their own clothing. They are often too zonked to even care

          Not everyone is so lucky that standard sized clothing and shoes will fit them, or are even manufactured.

          Umm, please use a more appropriate term, like consciously-divergent.
