My liaison at the veterans hospital, Ms. Juana Tejada recommended I return to the homeless shelter I stayed at in 2009. Understandably I was skeptical and apprehensive, but once I checked out of the YMCA I reluctantly went back. To my astonishment I received preferential treatment this time. I had my own floor and got a room and a locker right away. I then met with Adrian Miller who works closely with Ms. Tejada. He reviewed my case and determined I can be transferred to the St. George Community Center in Borough Park, Brooklyn. Free room and board for six months maximum, with three guaranteed meals daily. They'll assist me with securing more permanent housing. I'm charging my phone as I type this, fresh out the shower. I'm overwhelmed at the moment, but I think I'm going to make it this time.
