AMCS (A Most Complex Situation) Offers a Homelessness Solution

AMCS The Outline [book 1 (An Outline On Trying To Get Help When In A Most Complex Situation / Homelessness) and AMCS The Play; a play called A Most Complex Situation (book 2) try to explain the many different reasons to be cast in such a situation, and what to do about it immediately after being affected by it; and written where the youth/children will be able to indulge in it also, even as a learning tool and theoretical experience, as well as for adults. (Both can be found by just typing in (lulu.com or lulu.com/otradom or by typing AMCS The Outine or AMCS The Play) by Bill Thomas

(PRWEB) January 29, 2006 -- AMCS shows where to go when in a most complex situation / homelessness by offering an outline and play that literally help move those who need help from one stage to another: shelter, social services, rehab, work and housing.

"I asked the question to myself; is there a progressive process, one that connects all of the agencies, which one would seek help from to resolve the plight of a most complex situation / homelessness. It didn't seem like a difficult process, and after thinking about it, it could have worked, but only if there was such a process. Each agency knows the other, what they provide, where they are, etc., but are they set at stops; where they literally help move those who need their help from one stage: shelter, social service, job rehabilitation, work and housing, etc. to the other."

). I couldn't help but hear the question of why not, over and over again as I sat there and thought about it. I could think of many reasons, but what are the exact reasons coming from them; it could be very helpful and enlightening to find out…

People living in the streets, about six million throughout the US they say, LA to Seattle, Bismarck to Beaumont, Flagstaff to Miami, Atlanta to Boston, the subways of New York; and before returning home and putting it all together, Bill Thomas (author of AMCS) eventually stayed at all of these places while traveling and trying to overcome it while keeping a journal, which eventually turned into a project to put the pieces together to try and overcome the situation of traveling without funds, and all of the misadventures that follows it.

AMCS The Outline (and AMCS The Play; a play about a family going through it) was written as part of a journal while being in a most complex situation; literally trying to decide how to deal with the situation; fighting off the oppression that comes along with finding out that it's happening to you when trying to find the job that you need, after finding a place (most likely a temporary one) to stay to get the job (which is usually required) to get the place ( a permanent place other than a shelter) to save the money… and of course if it were all that easy, wondering how could it have happened in the first place.

The outline started with Shelters on top of the list; because it's basically the first place that one goes to… Followed by number 2; Social Services, because it's the place or rather places that has the resources to help to basically get readjusted… And Rehabilitation came next on the list as number 3, because of the reasons for being in AMCS, whether it is work rehab, substance abuse or medical, the information for other necessary services that may be needed. And work came after all of these because the above list helps in stopping the cycle of getting situated and having it start all over again, especially with the same problems.

Housing seems to fall in place next, with the services needed to stabilize the situation, and the financial resources either from one of the social services or from working. And research is added, which could mean getting more involved with the new trade just learned or learning more about the problem that was just overcome which caused being in AMCS or even a new hobby to keep focused and growing mentally as much as physically. And of course, volunteer; giving back, as we say, to society, and those who may need help in AMCS, from volunteering to doing reading on the situation and on a perpetual basis, even as a fun project.

1.   Shelter
2.   Social Services
3.   Rehabilitation
4.   Work
5.   Housing
6.   Research
7.   Volunteer

And thus you can see the program is divided into two sections; The first book; AMCS The Outline has just the outline and a brief explanation of how one would go about the process when becoming homeless or as Bill Thomas has termed it, finding oneself in A Most Complex Situation to vie to overcome it, and though it may take some time, as quickly as possible… while walking eight hours a day just to think between looking for work and staying in different shelters, from the VOA Shelter (Volunteers of America) to the Salvation Army.

There were days that he was outside, seven days a week in extreme temperatures, from what felt like below freezing in Gresham, Oregon one night when being caught out after the shelters were full and the trains had stopped running, to about 120 degrees on a nice summer's day in Miami, Florida. Fasting six consecutive days to be exact, by the time he had made it to St. Louis, Missouri from Jonesborough, Arkansas, though he once fasted thirteen consecutive days for a group of children that he was with as a school bus driver in Austin, Texas.

"…Reading about this most complex situation in the Reno paper one day while passing through Nevada; and reading that some of them were asked if they needed help, and replied ("No"). I couldn't help but hear the question of why not, over and over again as I sat there and thought about it. I could think of many reasons, but what are the exact reasons coming from them; it could be very helpful and enlightening to find out…"

The Second book is called AMCS The Play, or just AMCS / The Play; it's a story about a family all of a sudden displaced, when the mother is laid off from the university where she works at as a custodian, the father being a truck driver and preparing for transition into another position with his company keeps the family reassured, the kids are young adults and preparing either to continue post-secondary education at one of the universities or they will start working soon, and the grandchildren of course, make up the third generation; each getting better as they move along and try and put it all together. But these drastic phases of transition cause them to decide to seek it in Dallas, Texas, where they will move to and start a new and promising life. But as they get there, within a days time, all of their dreams fall apart.

What would have been a lucrative and easy job for Clinton, the dad, whose income would have made that transition easier, slips out of his grasp as he gets into a car wreck on his way to work at his new job as a carpenter. His wife, Hilda, after deciding to go to school after being laid off, is lucky enough to find a job as a computer consultant, and thus because of the demand in that field, has quit her job; taking the chance of finding another one once helping the family get situated in Dallas.

But horrifically enough, the pieces begin to fall apart when they get there and find that their son has been living in a homeless shelter rather than going to school, Clinton breaks his leg and looses his job, Hilda of course sacrificed hers, thinking that everything would work out perfectly while helping the kids and grandchildren adjust to the new city, the water pipes burst, and they get an eviction notice because no one is working... and then things begin to get worse… They later, at the end of the play, get together and create a play of the life they have just lived or rather survived and perform it at one of the shelters to raise money to help keep it open.
