Stanley Tigerman's new homeless shelter, the Pacific Garden Mission, probably won't win any awards for aesthetics ("Home to a Thousand Souls" in our March issue). To be perfectly candid, it's rather spare, if not downright ugly.



Stanley Tigerman's new homeless shelter, the Pacific Garden Mission, probably won't win any awards for aesthetics ("Home to a Thousand Souls" in our March issue). To be perfectly candid, it's rather spare, if not downright ugly. I think Tigerman would agree. "This is not a home," he says of the mission. "It's an institution. You're trying to get people back into society."
There's a world of thought behind that simple statement.
