Those millions of jobs could be doing something constructive. Don't justify why War is so great for the economy. Sending weapons is only a small portion of those billions.

Don't give money or drive away crying. I knew a man that was homeless pretty well. He received SSI benefits. Every day, he would go to a freeway exit and spend about 2 hours with a sign. He would come back with $60 on average. Then he would go to local restaurants at closing time and they'd sell him cheap plates. For example, the Mexican food place would give him a huge plate of rice and beans and a protein for $2. He had plenty of money. Just enjoyed being "homeless" and not having any responsibility. You have a beautiful heart and soul. At the same time, you are being taken advantage of.

No way that 90% of homeless plan on personally earning their own way out of their situation!! It’s “Societies fault”!! If most of them saved up $100, where would they spend it!!? Let’s cut the BS.

Herein lies part of the problem; if you are a landlord who gets paid by the government, you can get exorbitant amounts of rent, and that in turn helps you keep up with regulations. A landlord who gets paid by private citizens often falls behind on upkeep especially to 'code' (gov standards) and end up folding. The fewer private pay landlords there are, the higher the rent for gov regulated housing - even if their tenants aren't gov subsidized, and more people are pushed into homelessness - waiting for the gov to help. It's a vicious cycle. My heart goes out to all these people. Please note i'm only highlighting part of the problem, we all know it's much more complex than that. Thanks Nick

It's up to people like us to educate and stop this cycle. Keep doing what you do. Just remember they didn't start life like this. . If they did even . . Respect the fact that they reached back to you for an interview.. Be safe nick and thank you for the things you bring to the light.

I lived a good life. Lost it all because of drinking. Spent two nights on the streets at Myrtle Beach in February and it was miserable. No resources, no friends. By the grace of God, i was accepted back by my family. But being out there, i was hopeless and couldn't stop drinking because of the stress. These people live very difficult lives. I don't know why anyone would choose to live on the streets. My experience was brief but it nearly drove me to suicide. Life is much better three months later. But i know i am so close to ending up back in Hell

Nick, thank you so very much for this in depth video on our homeless people. The problems are very individual, and if we do not approach each situation one-on-one, we will never find a solution. I do not believe that everyone will eventually have a home because many of the drug addicts have a home, and they remain on the street "living the life." But, for the people who are mentally ill: they need care, and the state of mental health care in the US is terrible even for those who have insurance, a job, and loving support from friends and family. The people who want to work: they need to be hired. Hiring the homeless is also a challenge. As that gentleman in Oakland by the freeway stated, if they get hired, they will need showers, clean clothing, and transportation to and from work. Gee, instead of hiring 87,000 IRS workers, perhaps the President should have hired an army of social workers, counselors, and volunteers. Having said that, let me also say that the federal and state governments are the worst administrators of programs and normally make things worse. Look at the ridiculous wait times some of these folks told us they had. What the feds and states can do is fund local organizations that have proven programs that work. Like any grant program, the recipient organizations should submit a full account of the budget expenditures, their failures/success to the granting agency in order to receive further funding. Honestly, the best help for these people should come from local grassroots organizations such as churches, synagogues, mosques, temples, etc. Soup kitchens are OK, but all they do is keep people alive without getting them out of their circumstances.

The programs encourage the homeless to do nothing to improve their lot in life since they get everything they need for free from them. They live on the streets because the shelters stay full. Those that can and do work tend to have their own safe areas for their tents and parked vehicles. The police don't mind them if they keep their location free of trash and stay sober. Most of them are saving up as much money as possible to relocate elsewhere to work where the cost of living is much less.

I live in Albuquerque and right in the middle of downtown I deal with homeless people on a daily basis and some have drug problems but most are good people that life situations be it of their making or situations beyond their control have put them on the streets. Here rents doubled after covid in some places and me and my wife pay more rent for a one bedroom duplex than our kids pay for a three bedroom house or our other daughter pays for a two bedroom apartment so if you had a place before COVID than likely you are much better off . Some of the elderly homeless simply can not afford rent , utilities , food etc By the grace of god although retired and disabled we manage to keep a roof over our heads.
