  Almshouses - Adoption Encyclopedia
An alternative to almshouses at that time was "outdoor relief," which was financial aid to the poor in their own homes, usually provided by a town "overseer of the poor" and in later years by the county or state public agencies.
Orphans were also housed together with the indigent elderly and the mentally ill, as well as with juvenile delinquents.
Then in 1879, legislation required overseers of the poor to place the children of paupers in either families or orphan asylums.

 Catholic Worker Movement - PeterMaurin
We read in the Catholic Encyclopedia that during the early ages of Christianity the Hospices or Houses of Hospitality was a shelter for the sick, the poor, the orphan, the old, the traveller, and the needy of every kind.
Originally the Hospices of Houses of Hospitality were under the supervision of the Bishops who designated priests to administer the spiritual and temporal affairs of these charitable institutions.
By living with the workers in Houses of Hospitality scholars will be able to convey to the workers why things are what they are, how things would be if they were as they should be, and how a path can be made from things as they are to things as they should be.

 Marketing Wirelessly
I never thought of the cell phone as a lethal weapon requiring registration.
But then again, I am the mother of a talkative teenager who is putting us in the poor house with her monthly overages.
Maybe I'll tell her Bush has instructed the Department of Education to subpoena her cell phone records, so they can make sure she's not on the phone during homework hours.
