[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is what happens when individuals interfere in a social services system that is well funded and managed. In DC at least, there are SO many resources for street homeless people, bit they have to do things like not shoot up in shared housing or fight people. Often they don't adhere to the basic rules. You also could have had a huge hotel bill on your hands for damages that she could have caused. In the future, provide referrals to social services agencies. Don't open your own wallet.[/quote]

NP and well said. You saved me from crafting a very similar response.

I’ve been an active board member and volunteer for a food pantry program for decades - we all want to change the world and do our best to help.

Try to remember that there is an established social system in place and trained staffers to orchestrate and administer such services. Is the system flawed and sometimes inefficient, seemingly ineffective and slow? Yes - but you need to be safe and that includes not going out of your volunteer role.
