[quote=Anonymous]I've worked in social services in DC. Every societally helpful act should be accompanied by a work/school/counseling/treatment (whichever of those is the priority) requirement. And those services should be provided in an accountable way. Not only accountability on the vendor's end, but follow up that clients are completing the requirements. Welfare reform was a good move--but it didn't go far enough. People should receive support, and they should also always have something asked of them. Why do we have litter in the city when we could have that be the first tier/ non-conventional entry point to a santitation worker jobs program? Why are the bathrooms in Union Station dirty? What work/study/treatment requirements are being levied on the adult residents of the 8 new city-wide housing shelters? What support is being provided? We need to [b]give[/b] and also [b]ask[/b]. That is what moves people to independence and family health.[/quote]
