[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there an organization that is helping them in terms of toiletries and winter clothing? Are there any children in those encampments and do they have access to a school, school supplies clothing etc.?[/quote]

I can't speak to DC but my town has groups (some charity, some government funded) that drive around and drop off tents, sleeping bags,
socks, food, and give information on where do get medical and dental assistance.

My boyfriend has an encampment behind his work place and a RN and social worker have dropped by to check on one of the residents
several times.[/quote]

[b]Why are we encouraging encampments and focusing on making people comfortable camping on city streets? [/b]This is not the right thing to do and helps nobody.  The focus should be on relocating these people into permanent or at least temporary housing with sanitary facilities and hopefully services that these people need.  These are people, not stray cats! Your fake compassion is actually killing them by perpetuating the problem and encouraging the proliferation of street life and all the ills it brings with it: drugs, sexual assaults, crime, trash and more rats.   Turning our city neighborhoods into 3rd world shanty towns isn't the solution, but this is precisely what will happen if people will keep focusing on keeping street campers comfortable where they are instead of finding solution to relocate them and help those who could be helped get on their feet and acquire permanent housing and jobs, and getting those addicted or mentally ill help they need.

Because liberals seem to enact laws and policies that make problems worse.  Kind of like how they kept kids home from school during covid and had everyone going around wearing cloth masks.  I assume most of them have good intentions, but I now question any and all D policies and platforms.  I experienced firsthand what a disaster their covid restrictions and policies were.  I have never been a homeless person but I have to assume democratic leaders have encouraged and enabled people living on the streets.  [/quote]
