We’re tired of seeing women ending up like this. This is America, damn it!

This shouldn’t be happening; she’s someone’s daughter, sister, or mother. Can someone tell me why this is happening at such an alarming rate?

Better yet, can anyone give a suggestion on how to address this?

Without using drug therapy, systematic isolation treatments, or worse yet, a no result relocation program.

I don’t know, but either the program isn’t working, or someone or something is not allowing it to work!

I don’t want to point fingers, because there are a lot of people and organizations working really hard, but you have to admit there’s a loose screw somewhere that is not letting the results happen.

Yes, there is a drug problem, and yes, there is a shelter problem, and not to mention an unemployment problem. All true facts, but what seems to be missing, at least to me, is education.

You cannot give a person who has demonstrated no skills for whatever reason a brand-new home, car, or bank account and expect that person to prosper.

It’s like a drug addict who goes in to be treated, and the shelter isolates him or her till their urge is somewhat in control, then they kick them out into the same environment that the addiction started from, and they expect peer pressure not to drag them back to using, and unfortunately, he or she relapses.

It would seem to an outsider that a similar situation is going on with the treatment of the homeless; still, the right kind of education is nowhere to be found. In my opinion, just look at the example of how many homeless individuals use their food stamps.

I’m not trying to cause any problems by saying this, but different solutions are needed; this is why I’m starting a homeless helper organization from scratch. Not because I’m better or smarter, but I want to create a different way to try to deal with the growing issues. I will go into details in my next blog post; one of the first things I will establish is transparency.
