[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] That's a very rich white liberal thing to say. Many of the families in shelters are headed by a parent with one or more of those issues. There seems to be a mistaken belief that if it's a homeless family, that they will not be plagues by issues such as substance abuse, severe depression, etc. [/quote]
