[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What makes you think these will be families who use Eaton? What about mentally ill (who I see wandering Tenlrytown) or drug addicts? Spice, meth, crack? Has anyone specified to you who will be served there? [/quote] It's specifically a shelter for families, which by definition means kids. They might not go to Eaton: they might not be elementary-school aged or they might choose to continue to go to wherever they went before (homeless students have certain rights, which include being allowed to stay in a previous school). Their parents might, indeed, be mentally ill, but I do not think they will be active drug users.[/quote] Families with children can also have teens and homeless teens are statistically more likely to have issues that can range from bein more violent to learning disabilities.
