That’s because you have no idea the scope of the homeless crisis I have been in shelters where people are actually working 9 to 5 I met a woman who worked at the library Congress, who is homeless and stay at the shelter going to work every day. She was not addicted to any kind of substance she was homeless because she chose to help her family with medical bills and she lost her apartment if all you know about homeless, this is what you see on the news you have no idea there are a great percentage of homeless people who go to work every day but just can’t afford a roof over their head
Facts! The number one driver of homelessness is the housing crisis. People keep spouting this bs about it mainly being the result of personal decisions because they don’t want to face the reality that many Americans are just a few missed paychecks, medical bills, or emergency car repairs away from homelessness. Drug addicts and people with mental illnesses are able to keep a roof over their heads if the prices are reasonable. It’s hard enough to overcome addiction and mental illness with a roof over your head, but without that it’s nearly impossible.
