[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]* As to "stereotypes of the homeless" a significant percentage of homelessness stems from mental illness, substance abuse and other substantive and difficult to surmount dysfunctionalities which are also associated with substantially increased risk of violence and crime.[/quote] That's a subset of chronically homeless street people. Not the temporary family shelter people we are talking about.[/quote] I'll note that none of the proposals, and none of the plan's supporters have ever provided data or answered the question about how many of the temporary family shelter people have [i]actually[/i] been able to get back on their feet or placed in better housing within the 120 days that the proposal touts. The DC General experience is the one that should be informing this. That data should actually exist. So why aren't they sharing it? Perhaps because it's not 120 days but longer/indefinite?[/quote]
