Resources available for homeless in county
Beau Ashley, 27, was homeless for six long years in Los Angeles and Detroit. His spiral downward began in 2001 when his lifelong plans to join the Army for an exciting 20-year career fell through. Then his fiancee betrayed him just days before their wedding and Ashley hit bottom; he turned to alcohol and drugs. He quickly lost his car and apartment, and ended up on the street, begging for change, scavenging for scrap metal. He ended up in prison, then turned to gang life and the “business” of selling drugs.
