yeah, she's been in touch but no luck, still only sleeping indoors when I give her money for a hotel. She's not a perfect person, but she's a good person

I’m so sorry to hear this about your acquaintance; I know it can be really tough to see people struggle this way.

not so much an aquaintance, more a homeless woman who has become kind of my charity. I dunno, maybe that makes her an aquaintance.

She'd really benefit from an SRO.

If she’s been entered into the database through an outreach worker or the phone number I mentioned above, unfortunately, it’s a bit of a waiting game. Clients are prioritized for movement into shelter openings according to their relative likelihood to die without shelter. It’s a macabre way of prioritizing, but it’s more equitable than taking the next number up.
