Community runs programs that relieve suffering and help homeless people
establish social connections and find their way not only off the streets but
into the community. For the past six years in Australia, our home /
office / place of hospitality in one has been a place where we welcome homeless people (who we have come to know over the past decade) to either drop-in for a day or to stay for a couple of months.
Beyond the
model of homeless shelters, hospitality house is much more like a family home
where people come for sanctuary and belonging. We keep in touch with people
long after they are off the streets and have moved on from hospitality house.
We expect to continue this relationship, if only by phone for many years to
come. By acting more like a family and less like a welfare service we are
responding to the experience homeless people have in a way that is very
unconventional. But it
works.
