There is a book written by James O'Connell, formerly of Newport. That discusses the concept of "rough sleeper" in a book he wrote about his work with the homelessness in Boston. I" m on my phone but you can find it on Amazon... if you want a better understanding of the homeless suggest reading it.

>Dr. O'Connell's collection of stories and essays, written during thirty years of caring for homeless persons in Boston, gently illuminates the humanity and raw courage of those who struggle to survive and find meaning and hope while living on the streets.
