It's still positive karma but barely. Honestly anybody that says you can "cure" or "treat" the homeless has never dealt with them. In a wealthy society like most western countries you don't stay homeless for long unless you're too crazy to work.
The best way is to put them back into the mental hospitals where it's safe and they can be cared for. I watched as my relative's old parents fought the state like hell for years to get him committed to the last remaining indefinite-stay mental ward in the state. The alternative was certainly death once they're too old to keep searching for him and bringing him back home (he runs away eventually, or occasionally steals the keys and drives).
Some of these homeless people are so mentally unstable it affects their survival instincts. Like they don't think they need a jacket in -20 weather one day because they saw God this morning and he's going to protect them. And getting someone like this to take their medicine reliably? You've gotta be joking.
- Nomentatus 10y agoDon't discount too ill to work. Especially if a diagnosis has been missed which is very common. Although these homeless people are more likely to be rescued in one way or another, in time.
- throwasehasdwi 10y agoI don't think those too ill to work are homeless for very long. They either find a way to get medical treatment or, most likely(in the US at least) just die.
