They had a place to live, even if it was a foster or group home or an institutional setting.

Assessing Public Participation In Maine: The Old And The New In Civic Involvement, David D. Platt

Maine, with its long tradition of participatory democracy, reflected in town meeting government at the local level, is not necessarily a microcosm of what is occurring nationally. The state has, however, experienced its share of some of the civic maladies note nationally, …
