Unfortunately, mental health and related programs have seen significant funding declines at the Federal, State, and Local levels over the past decade +. Homelessness is more often linked to mental health and substance abuse, with misfortune playing a lesser role. While various homeless housing plans have been attempted, the housing guidelines, including curfews, therapy, or drug rehab requirements, are widely rejected by that population, leading to many failures. If you have ever worked in or related to the homeless, this is clearly understood. The individuals have no qualms in stating these facts; they don't like the rules, and they can even occupy beachfront or prime real estate.
While the delivery in this thread was very right-leaning and off-putting to some, the overall issue is intricately tied to politics, spending, and budget priorities. Some programs take precedence at the expense of others. It's crucial to hold politicians accountable for tax dollar allocation. An extremely valid question arises: should resources be directed toward housing 8 Million + ILLEGAL migrants or addressing the needs of 8 million homeless American citizens, including many U.S. veterans, focusing on their housing, mental health, and substance abuse challenges? Additionally, it's important to note a perceived lack of Aloha toward conservatives in this discussion, and forum in general.
