[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The housing should come with daycare vouchers and job interviews - there are tons of businesses of Wisconsin ave. These homeless parents could work at while their kids are in school/daycare and start the move to independence. [/quote] Conservative here. I fully agree. And should also come with some kind of psychological counseling and job training/educational enhancements. If you are going to provide aid, do it right so you can launch people into independence. Those that don't comply? You have case to remove the children from the parent(s) and find them better circumstances. [/quote] Ah, to be young and naive again ;0) DC has adopted a housing first approach, and they are well aware of best practices and data driven success. Wraparound services will be provided. Your quip about removing kids and finding better circumstances for them is hilarious! The child welfare system is a million times worse for kids than keeping them with poor parents. Abuse is one thing; benign neglect is another. I just love armchair quarterbacks who pontificate about systems they don't understand. Very entertaining![/quote]
