Boston (One way in which the staff at the Pine Street Inn tries to establish relationships of trust with their homeless clientele is by encouraging them to have foot soaks at the end of the day. Afterwards, they are given clean socks and, if necessary, new shoes. The nurses have often found that over a period of time, their guests relax enough during these sessions to tell them what is on their minds.)
