Failing simultaneously can be the most freeing and most gut wrenching experience, gut wrenching because of the looming threat of the consequences, but freeing because now that a verdict has been rendered it's a brand new adventure, even if it's a crawl.

Though homelessness really is a crawl, one that more and more people will have to experience. At some point we will really have to question who is failing here, the individual or the system.
