[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We need a radical new approach. The current situation helps no one. First step, the federal government should purchase one of the many ghost towns in rural America that time has passed by. Second step, offer a chance to 100 able bodied homeless to move there where they will receive free housing, food, and counseling. Teach them roofing skills, how to hang drywall, basic plumbing, life skills, etc. Pay the first 100 livable wages to rehab the town. Then, 100 more move in. They can leave at any time with a set of actual skills or stay and continue to rehab additional housing. If successful, this could be done on scale at 100s of sites around the country. [/quote] You are brainstorming from the incorrect assumption that these are able bodied people of sound mind who are homeless simply because they haven't found work lately.[/quote]
