The colorful common room for the family dorm guests is filled with children and only a handful of mothers can watch the children while others attend classes or work. Mia's suggestion: "A day care center is really needed here." The guests are not permitted to have alcohol or drugs; in their pock­ ets or in their bodies. This is penal­ ized by an invitation back into the streets. They have a curfew of 9:30 p.m. If they aren't back, they won't have a bed. The homeless center is so much more than I thought. The center takes 7 5 percent of the money the guests earn and keeps it safe until they are ready to check out. The rest can be used for things that the center doesn't provide, such as birthday gifts or other non-necessi­ ties.
