TOWSON, Md. — For Phyllis Painter, finding a safe place during the day can be as challenging as finding somewhere to sleep at night.

Homeless for 12 years, she's found hope at Prologue's Outreach Center in Towson, a place that provides shelter during the day for people who need it most.

"They don't put you down," Painter says. "Because nobody should go through this and nobody should want to, either. They treat you like a person. If they have it, they'll give it to you. And if they don't, they'll tell you where to get help."

Painter is one of more than 2,500 people who are homeless in the Baltimore region. For many, traditional shelters only provide nighttime refuge.
