[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is slightly off-topic but my own child went to Farmland many moons ago and back then, there were no shelters in the catchment area. If anything, the area around the school is pretty wealthy.  Do they now bus the kids in who don't live nearby?

Shelters often do not have a neon Homeless Shelter sign out front.  You may not have been aware of it.[/quote]
I still know the area pretty well. That's not the neighborhood that would have a homeless shelter. So my question remains.

There are three family shelters - green tree, helping hands and stepping stones.  If there are not any spaces available, families get put in hotels.  And, kids get bus service to their home schools per policy.  You don't enroll in the local school if you are in a homeless shelter as the shelter is only temporary and you change schools when you get stable housing.

There is also a family domestic violence shelter but not naming it for obvious reasons.[/quote]
