Abstract:
In May 2011, the Inter-Faith Council (IFC) for Social Service in Chapel Hill proposed moving their existing men’s homeless shelter to a different neighborhood. However, residents protested the move, and as a result, men who need the IFC Community House’s services must be picked up at the old shelter. The small amount of space available for emergency drop-ins also presents problems for the shelter, especially with the cooler temperatures in early 2016.

Joe Donovan, Gary Smith, and Dan Schooley have their stories of homelessness described, their inability to find jobs, and how they live without a permanent home.
