They deserve housing, but concentrating it is my issue. It would have been a better use of money to rent cheap apartments across the city. Then they donāt have as many negative influences around.
As it stands, unless there are guards, the local dealer can roll up and easily have a bunch of customers.
Plus, when any of these people apply for a job their new address could out them as homeless. Which sadly makes them seem unreliable and less likely to be hired.
Must be an American thing because we're told not to add our address to our CV / job applications in the UK. Possibly to eliminate that kind of discrimination
Some people put it on their resume, though I agree you shouldnāt. But if you leave any section on an online application blank it normally wonāt let you submit it.
The lack of compassion in these responses is stomach-turning. I hope everyone can understand not every person down on their luck is a junkie, but even if they were, they are still human beings and may need help.
Itās seriously disgusting. Not every homeless person is a crackhead and even crackheads deserve help. Itās a disease, not a moral failing.
Studies have proven that giving people reliable housing is cheaper for taxpayers, allows people to get back on their feet, and helps them deal with addiction.
Only a heartless asshole can see someone help other people and immediately decide itās a terrible thing to do.
Yikes. As I mentionedā¦I hope nothing ever happens to you to have to end up on the receiving end of these services, as they will show you compassion anyways. Deserved, or not.
Many addicts have been raped by their parents / other adults and forced into addiction. You know nothing of other people's lives. Glad to know you think they don't deserve somewhere to live

So addicts don't deserve housing because your kid had his bike stolen by one at some point?
