[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Intensive MANDATORY interventions and stable housing while being taught how to literally pay your bills and budget. Shamika had a rent subsidy and Antonio said he gave he money for rent but she didn't pay. Sitting her down and showing her that if you don't give the landlord $xx you won't be able to stay in the apartment, might have been a good start.

Having affordable housing available is critical too of course and this impacts more than the completely disenfranchised. Housing costs in major US markets have widened the divide between the have and the have nots. If you work full time you should be able to afford housing without 1000 roommates. To those spitting on the low paying jobs, I think the pandemic should have shown you that somebody being willing to perform these jobs is critical. [/quote]

I think my issue is that a single parent with four kids will not be able to afford affordable housing on a minimum wage job.  Having kids really young is one of the factors keeping people in poverty.  Have five kids by the time you are 28 with no college degree or stable partner? How can you possible afford housing?

And also she had subsidies for housing and still was evicted multiple times.  The system was trying to help.[/quote]
