"...where your day-to-day activities are forced to be about the most basic level of survival?"
Isn't the purpose of so-called "subsidization" to avoid this? (Not that it necessarily works in practice.)
- DerpDerpDerp 13y agoThere really aren't many homeless programs that subsidize living for a period where you can get back on your feet, in such a way as to not require that you stand in line for hours every day, so you can focus on finding a job, or similar. Many of them (eg, food stamps) cut benefits when you're unemployed homeless, and focus instead on at-risk employed people. Many kitchens require that you show up every day and spend large amounts of time on travel to-and-from, as well as waiting in line.
