I’ve been made internationally homeless, before. Much social work in N.Y.C. isn’t ‘housing first’. I’m hidden homeless in Central Harlem, now. Gave away my recent pets. ISOLATED in too many ways. Deport all illegal aliens away from U.S.A., 2016. Stop anchor babies. Revive Peter’s Place; Pathways to Housing, Inc. [N.Y.C.].
