Mama D lost her apartment in San Antonio, Texas. She has cancer and is out in the streets. But now the city only has one homeless services so she'd rather sleep outside then be in 'prison'


Haven For Hope is a newly opened shelter in town. I only spent a little time there. Although the facility is impressive their solution seems more like institutionalizing homelessness.

Please note that I never asked anyone to speak about this shelter, yet in every interview that was the topic. Street talk about services is not always honest, but in this situation, and from my own tour of Haven of Hope, I have to agree that this is not a way to treat people. Even for my interview they only allowed me to talk to the Head of Secretary.

The 'airport security' and giving people the title of "prospects" and "members" gave me the creeps. But my concern is that homeless people in San Antonio are no longer given the freedom of choice.
