MANCOS, Colorado (Reuters) - Rosa Sabido stares out a church window pondering her future and worrying about her ailing mother.  

For nearly two months since taking sanctuary at the United Methodist Church in Mancos, a small town in the mountains of southwest Colorado, Sabido, 53, has lived in a cramped room with a makeshift shower. She sleeps beneath a mural of Noah’s Ark in what used to be the church nursery.
