I know it seems cruel, but this problem needs more stick and less carrot.
A basic economic law is that giving away free stuff increases demand.
Indiana needs to partly rebuild the mental health institutions we once had. That is a solution for the most truly needy.
Clint:
Decades of research have shown that focusing on housing, without making sobriety or mental health treatment a prerequisite, is the most effective way to reduce homelessness
https://www.newscientist.com/article/2356643-we-can-reduce-homelessness-if-we-follow-the-science-on-what-works/
I am no saint nor do I have any miracle cures for this problem. But over the past forty years or so I have known many of these people who live on the street. As correctly pointed out; many are mentally ill. A lot of these folks refuse to be housed because of some sort of fear or true paranoia. I don’t remember when this happened but: sometime ago, because of the terrible abuse, the laws were changed so that, it is almost impossible to have anyone institutionalized without their consent. Some of these people ARE on the street because of their life choices, but all the same we all need to do what we can. The folks in this article seem to realize this and I applaud them.
It is a shame. Indianapolis did close 2 of the largest mental health institutions years ago and just let people go. I don’t think shelters today have enough qualified people on staff to deal with any number of mental health issues from schizophrenia, paranoia, just anything really. I do however agree that sobriety or at the very least offering a sobriety solution should be maintained as a prerequisite. I cannot imagine having someone on any number of street drugs in a shelter and that others would feel safe. (thinking of a lot of the behaviors that usually go with any number of drugs)
I like the responses. Lets be reminded that this culture is mentally ill and like children, less likely to make logical decisions or quality judgment. Free rein is not guidance. At least not for long. We must create some boundaries. The plan must be comprehensive and complete. This is our responsibility just like any other culture that has been conditioned to some out of conformity behavior. It will take much more than the average technics of practice. The comments of Lafayette, the LTHC, Jennifer Layton and Chelsea-Haring Cozzi, should be learned from. They too have a waiting list for second level housing. We will fail if we don’t put in practice an upper level practical protocol to help fix this problem.
If you will allow me, I reiterate the initial launch of this was to buy property without consultation of the neighbors. Council did the same for the method of managing the operating cost. This behavior begs failure. What do the residents do with the inevitable mess that will be created next to our home. Next, the city permitted this expense without an administrative operator for it. If they are so sure their plan is the right path, then they should commit to have ready future housing. If they fear price gouging they can submit letters of intent with commitment on price. Otherwise it is obvious they are just winging it. Which is the way I’m hearing it as of now.
Think Indiana/Indianapolis, think.
