We also got to eat what an average homeless person’s intake of food for a day.
For example, if a client needs to find cheap furniture to re-furnish after an apartment fire the caseworker can provide contact information for local charities that provide those supplies. Client caseworkers also make sure to call clients and follow up on their situation after a disaster. I was often impressed with how personalized the caseworkers would try to be with clients. Staff and volunteers showed genuine concern and interest in cases. Caseworkers made sure to read the case file and ask clients if they needed further assistance when closing their CAC accounts.

“On Compassion” by Barbara Lazear Ascher and “Homeless” by Anna Quindlen are two essays written about homeless. Ascher wrote from a compassionate perspective she describes events with homeless , but focuses on the reactions of others towards the homeless.
