Homeless is a city issue and we know the Federal government is creating inflation. I’ve talked to many of these homeless people. All that I’ve talked with are either recently out of jail, in drugs or mental ill. So fix those issues. We’re wasting money on the climate change rather that fixing what’s needed now. Shift the priorities. Let the market work on climate change, this is slower.
Might as well flush this money down the toilet.
Commentors here have obviously never been truly homeless, or down on their luck, or suddenly in bankruptcy. Many take no joy in being homeless, and for many a long road to rebound from.
As we have seen this past year, with weather nightmares, that result from ignoring Climate Change, and its causes. The results are evident …leaving many citizens homeless. temporary or permanent. Many lives have been lost, and suffered property losses, from which some may never recover.
The efforts are all a part of the answer, we must understand, and deal with immediate problems as noted above from David G., as well as problems that have been hundreds or thousands of years in the making.
Of the 2,000 people that are unhoused in greater Indianapolis today—what would happen if you gave each of them $5,000 in cash? Because that’s what $10 million dollars is for 2,000 people—about $5K each.
If you gave them cash I’m sure some would waste it. But I think some of the people would use that money to start paying rent. Or to get new clothes for a job. Or to buy a vehicle.
I don’t know if this is a viable solution. But doesn’t it seem like in a lot of cases, $5,000 is enough to help a person who is unhoused that wants to find a place to live and way to earn income?
