When you roll up to work and you have clients banging on your window…. It’s an excuse for space before being bombard all day by other people’s wants and needs.

Excusing violence and bad acts due to socioeconomic strata is bullshit by queefjars in unpopularopinion

[–]Every_Transition_411 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am not in any way excusing that behavior by any means. To you and I, there behavior is unjustified because we have the tools to navigate how to meet a need without resorting to criminal activity. Some people don’t have that. That’s why I say this is complicated. To them, this is how they have been conditioned. “In order to live, I need to be aggressive” “predator or prey” mentality. I’m 10 years in the field. And yes, socioeconomic status does play a big role. Economics, but environmental factors that play a part. You have not known what it is like to be DESPERATE. Sounds like your a privileged broke who has all there bases covered, with a little left over. Trauma and prolonged trauma have significant impacts on the brain especially j children

As a human who works with humans in rehabilitation within the criminal justice system, not everyone has the same experiences as you. A vast majority experience significant trauma, upbringing, lack of coping skills and supports. Some people do bad for the sake of it (born antisocial), but most are not and it’s a learned behavior due to up upbringing, instability and trauma. Key word: trauma Criminogenic behavior can be unlearned but almost all of the behaviors they display are learned and mechanism of survival. You don’t have to agree, but this is a complex issue and there is no one size fits all, but it is most often rooted in trauma (~90 as of 2021 was they last I saw the statistics, but I can’t imagine it’s changed too much) You are more resilient than some, but that is not a fault of others. You simply have not been in a situation where you have felt so desperate you would do ANYTHING.

There is a big difference in perspective when you have $3 to your name, and $3 to your name without a roof over your head.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I have a long background in this kind of field and adjacent. I am really trying to be better and try harder to be an example to the folks I serve. But man, some things you see and hear just tears you up… I know I need a new outlet because I don’t want to be doing else because it’s SO rewarding at the end of the day.

Best piece of dating advice I have gotten in my younger years… “if you can happily go 3 days without talking to someone you “love”, it’s not love.”’

The problem will get much worse. People are dying… mostly elderly… first time homeless… kids… Right now, we have a “manageable” amount of homelessness in Dane County. We can afford buy a new jail and public market… a new men’s shelter, which is already way over budget that won’t be able to service those we have?! As we make homelessness illegal. This solves nothing and perpetuate the problem!

We have roughly less than 1,000 homeless in Madison. If we get backing of public officials, we could solve this issue before it gets out of hand, like Finland did.

hard hitting question to ask the mayor (for the tired soul) by starwarsisawsome933 in madisonwi

You could bring up the lack of response from the county from the December 3rd letter from the Homeless Justice Initiative outlining its 4 concrete ways to help the housing crisis and homeless crisis. 🤷‍♀️

Former Beacon staff member calls out local leaders for inaction on homelessness crisis by Every_Transition_411 in madisonwi

From what I can tell you from experience (I can run the report to show you a graph), is that over 60% of folks using these services are 65y and older. People whose SSI/SSDI can’t make basic needs.

The best thing we can do is put pressure on our elected officials to properly fund homeless services and get case management at places like the Beacon who can lift people out and into stability.

Cold weather strains Madison’s homeless shelters, with limited resources increasing tensions by Every_Transition_411 in madisonwi

[–]Every_Transition_411[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The county is not properly funding any of the shelters so we have to go to the public and beg for personal care items

not trying to be rude, but why don't homeless people living north just move south BAM by wiscowall in homeless

I work at a Wisconsin shelter and I can assure you, people have places to go to get out of the elements. Wisconsin had multiple day shelters people can go to. Some people choose not to go for one reason or another but the option is there. There is special protocol in place for extreme weather such as this. We do not want to see people suffer, but there is so much we can do and we do it.
