Then stayed at the Saint Agness drop-in center at the Grand Central
Partnership. Sleeping in chairs, eating crap watching their big screen t.v. Going through their classes on section 8 housing and job classes.
I went to all the soup kitchens and other drop-in centers.
Prayed and prayed and prayed.
After awhile I was connected to the mentally ill division of the Grand Central Partnership, the Independant Support Center. Where I was hooked up with my present psychiatrist. She got me on SSI and connected me to Pathways to Housing. My present housing organization. It's pretty famous they had a documentary on channel 13 and even have a television commercial. It's actually cheaper to house people than keep them in prison. Ofcourse the whole process took months and I slept in churches in the Bronx and Queens and even a synagogue in Manhattan.
I've witnessed knife fights and muggings was seriously ill with the flu as well.
