These people are not living on the streets because they have to, they have drug addictions that no amount of money can prevent.
Outdated and disproven beliefs like this are why society will continue its downward spiral. People with this mentality yearn for the years where people struggling with addiction, psychosis, etc had institutions to find treatment in. The problem? They hate the homeless and also don’t want to offer them any resources to get them back on their feet. We can’t have it both ways.
This is not at all true. This is a flimsy right-wing excuse to be cruel.
Up until we complete the secular shelter, the options for being housed are pretty much down to religious organizations. There are no secular shelters for families, no provisions for pets, and those religious shelters mandate participation in religious services.
It’s not an irrational decision to say “no” to something that is unlikely going to be helpful for many people.
Jonathan, I wish you knew what you were talking about. These people are living on the streets because the minimum wage is still 7.25 an hour and a 1 bedroom apartment in Indianapolis rents for $1500/month. You do the math.
If you lost your home and/or job, tell me you wouldn’t turn to drugs or alcohol? Seriously. Get some education because you have no clue.
Sorry Lisa,
The minimum wage is not the problem causing homelessness.
I don’t know of any company ( even retail and fast food ) that only pay
$ 7.25 per hour.
The majority of homelessness is do to addictions and mental issues.
Most homeless people have burned all their bridges or they have no family or friends to help them.
Are there people that genially fall on hard times through job loss or personal loss??? YES
Religious institutions tend to get much better results than government agencies that have no expectations on those that they help.
Many homeless that have turned their lives around do credit the church and their faith for the opportunity to turn their lives around.
Faith is key for many people. Understanding that there is a higher power. A higher power that does have expectations and provides a spiritual path that transcends into the physical by taking control of your life.
Being spiritual means that you can find answers to the problems that have hurt you.
