The attitude of the public towards the homeless is far from positive, which is understandable. However, in a civilized society, there are social institutions where you can turn to the homeless for this or that help.

Sometimes, in order to return to normal life, a homeless person needs only one chance. The best way out for the homeless is to go to rehabilitation centers, which today operate in many cities. The advantage of such cents in comparison with ordinary lodging houses or social hotels is precisely in the opportunity to provide this chance.

If an overnight stay is just an opportunity to wait out the cold, eat, spend the night in more or less human conditions, then a rehabilitation center is a whole structure aimed not only at solving the current needs of people who have applied, but also at providing more thorough assistance.
