Proper needles and stations to inject drugs or get free clean needles has been proven to be much better than sharing needles or shooting up in places where it's dangerous or harmful to both the homeless and other citizens

Those places offer help to get clean it's the users choice if they want to

Many shelters are overcrowded and unavailable to homeless

Shelters are also known to be dangerous especially to homeless women since more males are homeless than women
homeless women are often raped in shelters which is why women only shelters are around but are few and far inbetween

There is most definitely a better way to help the homeless as it costs tax payers more money to keep them homeless rather than bring them out of poverty

But you know the government likes to keep people in poverty

This is daft, why can't they fix this if this is true.
It is true think about everything taxes pay for that go to homelessness
Medical bills alone are astronomical
Than you have shelters , food banks
Than you have those who help the homeless
Crisis centers , detox centers , methadone clinics , counselor and social workers

Where do you think that money comes from sure isn't the money tree

thats a lot of money but surly it's not as expensive as buying a homeless person a home, like rented or something.

most of the help is volentry isn't it ? and the shelter payed by chartiy ? idk

But detox centers homeless shelters
Medical help
Methadone clinics those are all paid jobs from people who have university degrees

no you said it would be cheaper to make them NOT homeless which means giving them a home.

No you assume that means buying them a house not that I said that

i think you should consider looking up some statistics and money figures of homelessness and how much it costs tax payers
And than come back and we can discuss this :)

well here on the easy coast they have a horrible methodology of overlooking poor preexisting families and sending tax payer monies to refugees....or overseas to "make payments" ive volunteered at a food shelf for 7 yrs now it's becoming worse and worse

ya i had to run to am whats it called. "the road home" a homeless shelter i guess.
couple hundred people sleeping outside chillin. fuckin smokin etc.

and im around alot of homeless, run a food pantry/soup kitchen worked with rehabs. its just seeing thatvin an otherwise nice looking area hurts. my one block walk to the front, 3 people shootin openly, one smoking and a dif couple pulled a bag looked like coke and i was asked to buy several times. high crime rate, unnecessary amount of police needed, a drug hub etc. seems to me there should be a dif answer, grouping them roofing them and feeding them but nothing else doesnt help the situation. and im not saying the police should be patrolling arresting users as that doesnt solve anything

i was just sort of complaining. its not a topic with any quick solution

Print the homeless bullshit degrees with asterisks and allow them to run their own methadone clinics and needle programs at the same payrate as those who paid for and earned their degrees, that will allow the homeless to be gainfully employed and free up good passionate physicians for the regular hospitals.... I figure your average drug user has just as much knowledge of proper needle use and dosages as the current situation.......


Did that sound too trumpish?
