It's so hard being homeless when you know what you need to get out of the situation. I've read other comments and they're right. I need housing and a trade certification. I don't have alcohol or drug addiction. I'm not mentally ill. Every place I go to requires you to be that regardless if you really are. The shelters are not safe, from the clients or staff. I knew the victim. The homeless system is killing many of us. We need housing and training. The homeless system does not offer that. I'm tired and am going to sleep at the beach, my home in the sand.
quit spending $100,000 on mental patient's treatment while leaving them homeless. Horrible, horrible crooks!!!!!!!!
