My son was homeless last year before real cold weather. In Salisbury NC. His name is Dennis Moser. I saw him on Depot St. He has dark hair and was wearing a dark puffy coat with three bags like Food lion plastic bags. Has anyone seen him?

Good app for those who wish to help the homeless or if you're homeless it lists the resources that's available, not 100%but fair enough, has mapped to direct you to the resources.

Horrible app unsafe and to report anything you must include phone number etc... HELLO MOST HOMELESS PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE PHONES?!??!? I apologize if u really are trying to help but from what I saw you are not! The first thing I noticed for these places listed is an area that states sex offenders allowed, Ok sign me up like we don't get raped enough out here! Disgusted

I'm a professional musician sound engineer and producer, and I spent many years as a traveling musician this app is very out of touch with reality. Homeless people need a home, not an app. I saw this thing on Dr. Phil, I had a feeling it would be kinda stupid. This app is no better than a person going to The Salvation Army or any of the resources that are already available. They forgot something big, not all homeless people have phones, duh.
