I'm curious about the town you are talking about. I've seen the finances of people who rely on state benefits, and in the Bay Area--unless you have a bunch of kids(afdc) and were lucky enough to find section 8 housing; the state benefits are not enough to keep a room--you can eat though. I know too many homeless people who tried to get state benefits, and the help they recieved was tiny, and had a time limit. My best friend who passed away was on SSDI. He knew he was lucky he qualified for SSDI, but he was always broke. I saw his checks and it was just enough to get through the month. People used to rib him about buying a cup of coffee at Starbucks, at the expense of The Federal Government, but they had no idea just how little money he was receiving.
