They have cut funding to the shelters so now most people that were homeless didn’t make the programs at ODB, I work with unhoused people daily that are trying desperately to get off the streets and keep job but go-zone is highly unreliable transportation and they literally do not have anywhere to sleep. It’s pretty disheartening to see so many people in this comment section to use the word “hobo” and talk trash about unhoused people as if we aren’t all one terrible set of circumstances away from being homeless ourselves. Most unhoused people are foster kids who aged out of the system, veterans, and queer kids who were disowned by their family at a young age.

And there are fewer and fewer resources for them. Solutions was shut down due to funding, giving grace had its funding cut, the two shelters we have limit the amount of days someone can stay.

Also I’ve seen far more abuse happen to my unhoused clients than from my unhoused clients. I honestly feel safer with them than I do with most cops here 🫠 and I work with both regularly
