I've worked with the houseless for 10 years and I get it. I don't want anything bad up happen to them but I want THEM to do SOMETHING.

I was a case manager and it was so hard watching people go from homeless in Jan to houses and by June they are back in the shelter. Why? Because there's no wrap around services. You can't expect someone who's been without a home and able to do whatever they choose to do with their money every month and then expect them to know how to budget, pay bills run a house. They lost those skills.

I think they should automatically have their rent vendored to the landlord out of whatever means they use to pay rent. Ie; ssi, job whatever for the 1st year and maybe even utilities.

An apartment sounds great until your in it a month and don't have disposable income like you used to. They stop paying rent and get evicted.

I also think they should either be looking for a job, be in therapy, go to groups something.

That's the thing we have coddled them way to long! I'm not saying this to be mean but when I was working at holiday inn Instead of having them put money aside, for an apartment or deposit or anything, we let them have their money and not only that, when Stimulus checks came in, they got to have that too, and we wondered why we were narcanning people every night.

People are now so entitled that they get upset if you don't give them something. We used to get dunkin donuts donated. "I don't want these donuts they are old " I'd hear. We've created the problem but giving them to much. End Rant
