[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They can use an address at the shelter. [/quote]
No, they can’t. They are not residents at a shelter, those are all single-night stays. [/quote]
Yes they can.

You people act like you’re the first ones who ever thought of this problem.[/quote]

That’s if shelters agree to provide the service.  Many/most don’t. [/quote]
You seem to have this idea of unhoused people that is rooted in serving your savior complex. Believe it or not, people - whether they have homes or not -  figure out where to go to collect cash benefits they are owed. You don’t think they talk to each other? You don’t think that a litany of social service workers are not making contact with them? Instead of posting here for no reason, why don’t you go out there are volunteer with organizations that support homeless services? Then you’re actually helping people instead of being performatively concerned online for the purpose of I guess of judging other people.[/quote]
