There are at least 3 types of homelessnes and each of these types have different solution:
1) people who have drug and mental issues
2) people (and families) who do not have drug and metal issues
but just bad luck (lost job, released from jail and cannot find job, etc.)
3) people want be to transient (runaways, hanging out and traveling, etc.). Members of this group slowly become group one.
I have a strong opinion that there needs to 3 different solutions which should NOT be mixed (I.e., do not provide shared housing for the first group and second group).
- Schiendelman 5y agoJust to add to the other person who replied to you - group 2 causes much of group 1.
- tlogan 5y agoYes. And group 2 is so easy to take care. But we are putting them into the same shelters as group 1 or doing some “let’s build affordable housing“. We need readlily available and free housing for these people - with transport and consoling. However this requires coordination on the state level and some help from businesses: sometime housing is not available in the same county but maybe neibouring county might have.
- wnkrshm 5y agoGroup 2 also easily decays into group 1, depending on whether they receive help at that stage or not.
