@Lp78Ch Nah, 30, semi retired, own property. Why do I care? You may ask. Principles, ethics, morals, whatever term you choose to use, and having experienced leaving home at 17 - yes, houseless. I can sympathize and see the flaws with our current system. I don't understand why unhoused is in quotations. Are you insinuating they have houses ?? I thought that was the problem. Them not having a one.... my bad.

Stop enriching your partners with purchasing hotels, Building high-rises to help homeless. The more you people helping homeless, the bigger your pockets get. To effectively address homelessness, we need to reconsider our approach to supporting those with severe mental health issues. Many of the homeless individuals are victims of abuse-physical, sexual, mental-and struggle with substance abuse. Simply providing shelter or opening soup kitchens isn't enough to tackle the root causes of their suffering. Reopening and modernizing mental health institutions could provide a critical component of support for these individuals, offering a safe environment and professional care. Over the past 30 to 40 years, various programs funded by tax dollars have not sufficiently addressed the issue of homelessness. It’s clear that we need a more effective strategy, one that goes beyond temporary solutions and focuses on long-term support and rehabilitation. Investing in mental health care and developing comprehensive support systems might provide these individuals with the help they need to start over and rebuild their lives
