In this season of frigid weather, there is one segment of the population that truly suffers, although they are too often ignored: The homeless. Statistics show that most working families are only one paycheck away from homelessness. Any unforseen disaster, such as a house fire, can plunge a family into a state of financial ruin that lasts for years. What happens if you suddenly lose all your possessions and have no savings to put a months rent and security down on a new apartment? What happens if you get laid off and can't find work for an extended period of time and lose your home to foreclosure? Will you and your spouse tough it out together in a shelter or on the street, or will it be too much for them to take? Will they leave you and move in with their own relatives? Will your spouse's relatives make room for you both and your children, even if you don't have money to pay rent? What happens if you a a veteran of war, returning home with injuries and no job prospects? What if your family can't cope with your emotional trauma and ask you to leave? Today we look at homeless couples and those who provide shelter for adults as they try to pull their lives back together and reconnect with their loved ones.
