Anderson, Indiana (November 12, 2010) – This past Friday The Christian Center (TCC) and Alternatives, Inc. teamed together to host Reality Check, an overnight homelessness awareness and fundraising event in Anderson. Approximately 150 people spent the night, some sleeping in houses made from cardboard and using cardboard as their bed and blankets.
As of the last official count it was estimated that there were over 670,000 people who experience homelessness on any given day. In the Anderson, Indiana, Madison County area the best estimate of as to the number of homeless people is around 650 at any time according to Shayne Tacket, Operations Manager, at The Christian Center.
Homelessness has no boundaries when it comes to age, sex, or nationally. According to National Alliance to End Homelessness, measuring youth homelessness has been a major challenge; unfortunately, significant, seminal data on youth does not yet exist. While hard data isn’t available, the alliance estimates that young adults ages 18 to 25 make up 40 percent of street youth and about 33 percent of the total homeless youth population.
In today’s economy homelessness is becoming an even larger crisis for people of all ages and nationalities. Families that were once stable are finding themselves today with no place to go but to the streets. To make matters even worse is the fact that those trying to help, the shelters and soup kitchens, are being overwhelmed by the increased numbers of homeless and the decline in those who can help support their efforts everywhere.

Captured on the evening of March 12, 2025, at 22:45, inside Bob W Kesklinn Hotel, Tallinn, Estonia. The fire alarms suddenly blared throughout the building, prompting an immediate evacuation of all residents and guests.
The Tallinn Fire Brigade arrived 15 minutes later, investigating the cause—only to discover it wasn’t a fire, but something just as destructive: a massive water leak. Water had seeped through the structure, affecting rooms from the 9th floor all the way to the ground floor, particularly on the right side of the building. A chaotic yet surreal moment as the hotel guests, dressed for the night, found themselves waiting in the lobby, watching firefighters navigate an emergency that turned out to be one of nature’s quieter yet relentless forces—water.
A snapshot of unexpected disruption, swift emergency response, and a night in Tallinn that no guest would forget.
