Today we are welcoming a new guy in the Halfway House who hasn’t even had an opportunity to get a full night’s sleep. He is generally a bundle of all-messed-up. These are young people who have (almost) officially fallen to rock bottom. The good news for most of them is that there is generally only one way to go, which is upward. Our thankless jobs as House Managers is akin to scraping road kill off of the side of the highway. Except that in this case, the road kill is expected to spring back into action and become a useful member of society.
