Popis: "A job. A constant job. A job that I can handle" [said Sam Sheldon, a forty-seven-year-old unemployed black man when an interviewer asked him what he needed "right now"] "But I need a shelter before I can gain that. I can't earn until I have a place to stay.... This is what I'm saying: I ain't got no roof over my head where I can say, 'Well, I live here. And I want such and such a thing here.' And when I come I got a key to unlock that. Open it and lock it again or whatever. See, because once I have that, I can get myself established. I can accomplish something. Like a bank account, see? And then I can talk shit. A nigger like me, within nothin', on the streets. It's hard." [Paths to Homelessness, p. 54]
