Detroit Adult Entertainment: Charismata Homes Offers Detroit’s Homeless Mothers Shelter, Opportunities
May 18, 2012 at 4:25 am | In Detroit adult entertainment | No CommentsA 2012 report by the National Alliance to End Homelessness relying on data from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development estimates 5,100 homeless individuals in the Detroit-Warren-Livonia metropolitan area out of a general population of about 4.4 million people.
Data from a national survey show that homeless families tend to be disproportionately headed by women. A 2009 HUD study found that females made up about 80 percent of individuals who stayed in shelters with their families.
Henry said the women she encounters are often victims of sexual assault or domestic abuse, or have lost a parent. Many have lived in cars or abandoned homes, and a high percentage of them have turned to prostitution to support themselves and their children. She said homelessness can also put mothers at risk for having their children taken away by the state, leaving them depressed and even suicidal.

McAuliffe spent her five minutes talking about Alternatives for Girls, a Detroit-based prevention, shelter, mentoring and outreach program for girls. It was launched in 1985 when a group of southwest Detroit residents, clergy and business people began to share concerns about the alarming increase in drug use, homelessness, prostitution and street activity among girls and young women.
