[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Neither will the case managers and providers.  They are employable and can find other jobs. It is people like the advocates and policy people who will lose their jobs.   A OP said she has spent her career in homeless advocacy.  What will she do with that?    And why has she done such a poor job?  [/quote]

I really thought I'd seen everything. Then I saw this. A poster was accused of not knowing what she was talking about, so she said she works with this population and that's why she supports this plan. Then the person who incorrectly accused her of not knowing anything changes tactics and asks why she hasn't done a better job fixing a problem that they're actively thwarting, complete with crocodile tears about the poor homeless families and their loss of community and feelings of displacement and inadequacy.

Here's a thought. Fund these shelters. Hire tons of case managers. Combat the supposed loss of community and feelings of inadequacy by welcoming them into the community. Certainly what we have now isn't working and this hasn't been tried. [/quote]

There are very few of these shelters in Bethesda compared to DC and if she's speaking of the one I think she is, there are maybe 18 families of mother and child, no father.  That individual is not only biased, she is coming from a little wealthy elitist bubble. [/quote]

There are more programs than that one, pp. There are some for homeless men in Bethesda, too. They aren't noticeable. They blend in. Beautiful apartments with case management onsite.

If you have ever actually worked with people experiencing homelessness, you'd realize that they are human beings just like the rest of us. They aren't monsters to be feared.

Some of you people super suck. [/quote]

And a lot of them are mentally ill. [/quote]
