[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Some homeless shelters make their people leave during the day [/b](like, out by 9:00 a.m. and back by 6:00 p.m.), so it's possible they have computers at the shelter that can only be accessed in the evenings.

The problem is everyone (well, most everyone) agrees that we need to have a place for homeless people to sleep (especially in the winter), but nobody wants them near them. I think the problem with the Reston shelter is that they put it immediately adjacent to the affluent Reston Town Center, which is home to $1 million condos and townhouses. Maybe it was there long before the area was built up to be so wealthy, but it seems that if they're redeveloping the entire area, now would be a good time to pick a different part of town. The area surrounding the RTC is extremely valuable, especially once the Metro opens.[/quote]
I take back what I just said. I looked them up, and the shelter is open 24 hours a day. I think the shelter should have computers available there (and perhaps they do). I will investigate further, but it could make for a nice "civic action" type drive - raise money for computers at the shelter and free up the ones at the library.
