His other wounds healed, but William was still out on the street.
He eventually ended up at Woodstock's doors and has been living there ever since.
Named after hippiedom's most famous festival, Woodstock opened in December 2008 as a combined project between The Hague's municipality and the local health provider Parnassia.
"We identified a great need in the city to help 'older' drug addicts, aged 45 to as old as 70, who were homeless," said Nils Hollenborg, the home's manager and resident psychiatrist.
But he stressed: "We are not here to try and rehabilitate our residents.
"In fact, our criteria state you can only get into Woodstock if you're over 45 and after a medical examination declares you are beyond rehabilitation."
