  • It depends on which homeless group you’re talking about.

    Whenever the subject of homelessness comes up, people seem to think the issue is only people who are temporarily down on their luck and just need a hand up.

    They’re not the group that’s the main issue. The main issue is the people who are chronically homeless because they have an untreated mental illness, are treating that mental illness with drugs, or are just using drugs.

    Their issue isn’t a lack of money, it’s a lack of help to actually be able to function in society. Because just giving them a house and money isn’t treating the cause of their issue.

    Think of it like crash dieting. Sure, you’ll probably lose weight, but if you don’t make the changes to address the reason you got fat in the first place, it’s not a long term solution.
