Most homeless stuck in psychological trap, they don’t want to fix their life they want have great life like it was shown on tv. Everybody wants to be millionaire and do nothing. It’s cultural collateral damage, people dreaming not working and you want to give them them job? Stupidity is overwhelming

    I recently got out of being homeless and I can say this is a great plan for those who want to help themselves. In my city most of the homeless population doesn’t want to work to help themselves because it’s easier to wait around with their hands out, sadly it works. I was turned down from receiving any sort of help because I work full time, and I don’t suffer from mental health or substance abuse issues. As I said I think this is a great plan and frankly anything is better than the plan they have in place now where I live. No matter how you look at it, the approach to the homeless problem in this country needs to be re evaluated in a major way.

I know from my experience helping out at food pantries and soup kitchens there are some people that are perfectly happy to be catered to and never even attempt to better their own circumstances.

      Two points. We don’t have a homeless problem we have mental health problem aka drug problem
      And
      40 billion isn’t going to Ukraine 10 billion is. If that 4 billion will actually to towards war. 6 to corrupt oligarchs. 30 billion is going into the pockets of our intel overlords and politician class and other elites in media to continue to provide favorable press.
      Ukraine was corrupted in 2014 by DNC, Soros & WEF. It’s all one big scam.
      Did we just not skip over the bio labs with hunter Biden ties ? Much of this corruption was shown by Glenn Beck in a chalkboard when they were impeaching the first independent president since Lincoln.

    There are programs EXACTLY like what he’s describing here, all over the country. The issue is they’re few and far between, and they’re funded by non profits that are allocating donations to many different areas, so the money is stretched too thin. My mom worked for a program just like this when I was in high school. They worked on rehabilitating and educating their residents, and turned them loose once they’d graduated the program and had saved a substantial amount of money to afford living in the outside world. It was a highly successful program where the director was a former resident. Problem was this particular program was funded by the city of Clearwater, with some outside donations… so eventually the program got cut. If the many many billionaires in this country all sponsored programs like this, and donated 10s of millions a year (chump change to them, and a tax write off), then we could have successful programs set up all over the country in the most population dense areas. Places like Baltimore, Chicago, LA, and NYC would obviously need multiple facilities like this. But billionaires in this country burn more than enough money to fund these types of programs.

      You're wrong, there's massive amounts of money wasted on mentally ill drug addicts.
      We have preferential housing for junkies & loonies. I met many people in Seattle, LA etc, who had homes in prime areas, paying little or nothing, often still doing drugs & crime.
      They also get special job placement ahead of many of us, loads of support groups & resources, constant sympathy stories...In Seattle there's vans that drive around to deliver the free needles that get left all over schools, libraries, parks. There's needle disposal bins in the college bathrooms. Democrats make billions off these grifts.
      I don't know who this clown is, but he's only describing Democrat policy that has been enforced for decades, & failed. If you live in a city that doesn't offer all these perks, just move to Seattle or any of the many cities that openly invite illegals, child abusers, junkies, etc.
      Los Angeles & others waste 10s of thousands of dollars PER person on the homeless every year, & homelessness only increases.
      "Free healthcare" is such a stupid phrase, I can't believe people even still say that. Must be nice to be so rich you don't have to understand how anything works, & you sit around deciding what's good for everyone.
      There is no group of people who gets more special treatment than the junkie-schizo class, who can violently assault & rob you with almost total immunity, while celebrities praise them & demand more stolen tax money.
      Now I remember why I stopped watching Rogan, because he's just another ivory tower lefty who has absolutely no idea what is happening at the street level. He's a filthy rich Bernie bot with lots of Hollywood friends who are confirmed pedos/rapists (Steven Tyler, Mike Tyson etc).

I tried to find an out and yet as our conversation went on, I realized that I wasn’t being a man of my word, I wasn’t doing what I say I would do in this situation.

    I have worked at 2 different shelters. I have also been homeless more than once. Addiction, mental illness, and mental illness from addiction is the majority of what you'll see. Met a lot of people that don't value money the way society would like. They all believe strongly in bartering. Everything has a value to someone. The heartbreaking part is how many predators you'll cross.

    The author of “Ishmael” wrote a book on tribal business where he said something interesting I will never forget: the homeless are tired of programs, they just want out of the system. Programs are what did them wrong, and programs will not fix their problems because every fix is just another program waiting to fail them. There’s a bigger story about people’s choices and how most programs leave little room for choice or individuality whatsoever. Programs are more about adopting a group identity or conforming to a specific process. Homeless people don’t want that, they want to be individuals with individual rights and more freedom of choice. That’s why they don’t want a job or to live in a box. But, again, even this explanation is batching all homeless people into one basket just like the programs that seek to fix them. There’s more to the story about this that we just aren’t getting, and it’s a symptom of the society we have inherited.

      @桜 ᴹᵘᵏᵘ⁴² 👽 well it is important to make help AVAILABLE for when and if people want a change. But the point is, homeless people aren’t a monolith so coming up with a singular program won’t work. Some have serious mental health issues, but not all. Some have addictions, but not all. Some WANT to live outside of the system, in the elements, on their own terms. Others desperately want to ‘get on their feet’. Many have minor children. Others are disabled. Some are vets, others have zero work history. Same goes with criminal history, you can’t expect the same outcomes for a program if one has a massive rap sheet vs another with a clean record. Especially now in 2022 there’s such a wide variety from people who’ve been outside for decades to others who are living in cars with their families, recently priced out. Someone will take advantage of the help, so we need to have a program in place

    This is one of my main goals. I have had this exact same dream to create a safe place for people who are struggling. We are very lucky to see the awakening of emotional intelligence in our lifetime.
    I have had an extremely wild and weird up bringing, I was very fortunate but I have also seen darkness and I believe that if there was a place like this that was there 24/7 with open arms and opportunities and a place that could nurture and guide the cornucopia of misplaced potential I had swirling inside me, I could have possibly avoided some of the things I endured.
    It's hard to say that when I also know in hind sight I am who I am because of what I endured and learnt, still can't help but wonder if maybe some of the lessons were unnecessary and did more harm than good.
    Definitely time for radical plant medicine journeys. I hope one day to be a driving force in this vision. I'm not sure if you'll ever see this but I AM IN SUPPORT OF YOUR DREAM and I share this passion for rejuvenating human beings.

It's not just addicts there are families who can't afford rent, utilities, food, medication and what it takes to live more and more becoming homeless daily. The elderly in the past 30 years can't afford to stay in the homes they have owned due to cost of medication food etc and higher personal property taxes.

    What we (worldwide) need to do, not just to alleviate the homeless problem, but society as a whole, is help create industry in deprived regions, where the skills of individuals can best be used and met.
    Individuals who are at risk of economic and social deprivation need to see that they have the hope of a future, rather than the defeatist potential we're shown is the only future.
    We need to listen to people's hopes and dreams, look at the skillsets they already have, and both encourage and inspire the want to push further past the boundaries that society tells us are our only avenue in life.

    Great solutions here and in theory it would work but if you’ve ever worked firsthand with the homeless population you’ll understand a good number of them are not interested job training, jobs, mental healthcare, detoxification from drugs, and many times not interested in housing. They may see it as someone trying to control their lives and they like being able and free to do as they wish when they wish no rules. To run a facility like that will require rules which would not be okay to a lot of homeless people.
    Many of them make a good income living on the streets and when you try to offer an alternative they don’t want to hear it.
    Now there are a good number of people and families who would benefit from these programs but they would have to make a choice for themselves and that takes a lot of inner motivation and strength sometimes. Simply put you can’t FORCE people to accept help. Many don’t want the help you offer. They want your help want how they want it. I’ve even had food thrown back at me because it wasn’t how they want it. You have to understand they are not children and don’t like being patronized from people who want to save them. I’ve been heartbroken seeing this happen and going the extra mile to help and fix and seen it end tragically even when all the help was in their lap. I walk away knowing I did my best but at the end of the day accept you can’t force someone to help themselves. People also want their dignity of choice even if that choice means tragedy for themselves.

Yes there are a lot of homeless people who face unfortunate ass circumstances to put them in that position but already being homeless has put them in a DISADVANTAGE in being able to put the same working output as a normal member of society. Which is what the government wants, and the whole concept of this idea in the first place. The government has to money to eliminate this issue but they’re not going to do it because, guess what, it costs money lol. and they’re not gonna get that back with this plan

    @Flared. Před 2 lety +9

    Going off of Ali’s idea - there are government funded centers, typically located in the same office spaces as Welfare, that offer the majority of the resources he mentioned.
    I was homeless at 17, going to homeschool (ironically), and a year+ worth of credits behind to graduate.
    A friend’s mother drove me to one of these offices one day and had me sign up. Over the next 2-3 months they helped me get my GED by creating a study guide, driving me 50+ miles 3 days in a row to the testing site, and paid me $200 once I passed,
    After that, they paid me $35 (plus free lunch) to attend 6 different 45min classes that went over things like avoiding debt via credit cards and cash advances, saving and budgeting, interviewing, and choosing a low paying job with benefits vs a high paying job with none.
    After this, they paid for & filed applications on my behalf to enroll in a community college. Drove me 30+ mins to the campus multiple times to take my entry exam and helped me apply for every grant and/or scholarship that I even remotely qualified for, and paid for my first books and TI-89 calculator.
    I eventually dropped out of the college because I didn’t find need for it anymore but today I work for Tesla (last 5yrs) and have around $250k to my name - I’m 27yrs old. Shout out to Noah Strong, my assigned caseworker - I couldn’t have done it without his dedication and support, you’re a fucking G!
    Best wishes to anyone that’s in a similar position - it takes patience and persistence but you’ll get there.

    Many charities even have special programs to offer work to university graduates (who largely issue from a privileged middle-class background), whilst NOT having programs to offer work to people coming from the working class, who are too often vulnerable and subject to economical and social manipulation.

    From 1st hand experience of being homeless and trying my hardest to get out of it, it is almost impossible to achieve without some form of help financially..and in the current time we live in, and I have been told this by an actual case manager I had less than a year ago, that because I was a single male, with no mental health or drug and booze problems, and I wasn't a female with or without kid(s), or an illegal citizen I was unable to receive any help in any form, so back to the streets I got sent. Also the people that work for these "crisis centers" are so lazy and rude, it's like going to the dept. of motor vehicles...nothing is done..I have been trying again and after 3 weeks of back and forth and after they said all my applications were fully filled out and they had all the info they needed...I got a call saying my benifits were denied because I didn't fill out a form on line they had requested...what form? I was never told they needed this form, even their notes in their system that the lady read to me stated that I had completed the process. Doesn't matter, not their problem as I was told, I finally found the form filled it out and sent it in, but it's going to be weeks before I hear anything. But unfortunately for me, as I said up top, I'm a single male, with no mental or drug or booze issues, I just fell on hard times, so I don't see this ending well.
