-Addiction. I met a deaf guy in Vegas two weeks ago. He mentioned he played poker with me and that I showed him the exit to the tournament once some time ago. I don't remember him but he lives in Vegas, homeless, mooches SSDI, and loves gambling.
-People who just foreclosed (a spike of recent)...
I would put more focus on battered women. Give them easy way out, set them up with security. Security = jobs, housing, a foundation for them to stand on so they're whole and good. That way they're not homeless, and doing the things women were asking me for in Vegas....  |
One is 50 kid in USA homeless every year. I knew young women that homeless in Cal. I was so sad to learn about this as I knew the women when they where kids. I no longer lived in Calf. at the time. If I did I would had let them stay at my house until they got back on their feet. I tried to help a homeless guy find a place to sleep but the shelter had no more room! They had 10 more people staying there than they had room for! I was told the number of homeless people was getting higher all the time! Some people formed a group to find homes to rent for homeless people in my city and towns near us. I am not sure how successful the group was in helping homeless people find homes. I called few times to help but I was never called back! People can be very snobby in my city!
