I went to the COTS, Committee on Temporary Shelter. First of all, that shelter wasn't like what I thought. A shelter which I thought was dirty, messy, and bad smell. However, COTS exploded my thinking. It has a lot of beds and lockers. And Although it crammed, it is better than nothing because a lot of people can live as possible as COTS can.
COTS was found about thirty years ago in Vermont because people who has no home or somewhere to live with warm in shivering winter will be died.
In Japan, it has a lot of shelters. But it is not so kind to the homeless because it costs some money to live in. Unlike Japan, it has an instant effect on homeless to be able to use COTS for free. Japan should follow COTS' example.
Visiting COTS was precious experience to me, so if I can, I want to go to my town's shelter.
