Rick
Rick was sitting on the northeast corner of Madison and State. He's an electrician by trade. "This (being homeless) isn't who I am". He's been out here for six months. "I don't want to spend another winter out here", he said. He tried staying in a shelter, but it was worse than being on the street. "It's safer out here", he continued. At the moment he just sleeps on the street. He's waiting for transitional housing. They said to call back in a month, which he did. Now, they said it'll be three more weeks. He's also waiting on a government phone, which will help him connect with an employer and get back on his feet. "My goal for today is to find some socks".
