[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Homelessness is wildly different depending on which population you are talking about. Women are different from men, who are different from families, and the solutions vary with each. Affordable housing is the solution for families only. Women need jobs, protection from men, job training and housing. Most of the men in shelter have jobs. Skilled job. The come in and out when the money runs out. They working poor. They need AA, NA, then housing. The streets are hardcore homeless. But the streets are 10x safer than shelters - disease, abuse, sex. It's like a prison movie. Mentall illness is a core population, but the rest is hardcore drug use.[/quote] There's alternative housing for anyone who is abusive or violent in a shelter: prison. Make use of it.[/quote]
