Its about you could be spiritually poor, you could be relationship poor . you could be educationally poor. So it is focusing on how you get out of this poverty that has brought you to being homeless. The program tries to teach the shelter residents self-reliance (自立) and work values, and includes courses on planning and personal responsibility.l learned I still have opportunities to change it and I can change it, said shelter resident Lewis Webster.
