There are meetings for preventing suicides, poverty and homelessness... The next day there's a meeting about understanding the emotional and physical impact of chronic pain...

I would be interested in the definition of homeless they are using. Homeless, for many, isn't the publics thoughts of a person on the street. Homeless includes the couch surfers moving from friend to friend and making it one day at a time.
