Illustration 1 (Con't)
Client: At the University of Carolina.
Worker: File for unemployment?
Client: No, not eligible.
Worker: Great job! Where are you staying?
Client: At a friend's house.
Worker: All my clients are homeless -- in a shelter or in the street ... I can request proof of residence. I can have you go to a shelter. You're not homeless.
Client: If you tell me i can stay at your house a few days, it's not my home.
Worker: Why don't you stay at a shelter? You need help with your diabetes. They can help you. Your friends can't help you ... What I need is a letter from unemployment and a medical report.
