So I’m a 26 yo man staying in the Cincinnati, oh area and I’ve been homeless the last few years staying with friends when I can but it’s been a struggle. I’m at a point now where I don’t really have anywhere to go so I’ve been looking at shelters but all I ever hear is that theft is rampant and not to take any of my belongings with me, my only concern is I have nowhere to leave the little bit I do own and not taking my things with me would also mean losing everything so I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the shelters and if so how bad is the theft and is there anything else I should worry about.
