[@bigpearlnola]

She shouldn’t lose her benefits because she gets a job. That’s where the system is broken. There needs to be a time of transition while she has a job being homeless on the street and transitioning into an apartment. Building is not easy and there needs to be allocations for the transition time of at least 18 months, when the system of people over the system put that in place, the transition money that is needed, while they are doing a new job so they can be sustainable and not become homeless again, then we can start attacking the homeless problem. And by the way, what happened to these so-called entrepreneurs pre-pandemic that were going to come together and put all their money in one pot to help the homeless situation what ever happened to those people I sure like to know.

[@eva5601]

The money they received from benefits is sufficient, if more than one of them moves, in together, as a flat mate, but the money that is given to them is used for drugs, and alcohol. In addition, how can they hold a job, if they arrive to work under the influence?

[@kannske7864]

Nothing will change until the city or the state changes how they deal with these homeless. They are chronically either addicted to drugs, alcohol, have mental issues, etc. It should be mandatory institutionalization for those camping on the streets. Give them so many chances to leave or else they come under control of the government. They cannot manage their own lives, and the way they live prevents citizens from safely and cleanly enjoying their properties and the public spaces. Imagine having a business (Whole Foods) with an encampment right outside its doors. I also think the warm climate attracts them to come to California. They wouldn't last a week outdoors up here in the northern states in the winter.

[@mantality312]

Then you would complain about the increased taxes associated with incarcerating so many homeless people. The solution is to end homelessness not to jail people for being poor.

[@kayfurlano1462]

La crosse, WI was a prime example of this very thing. The city decided to allow the homeless to set up camp in a city park away from the touristy areas. People were coming in from all over the bordering states because they heard of this and that the police are not monitoring the park. It turned into a big party place. I even had a client give up his apartment to go camp at the park. Well, for everyone that didn’t like following rules of the landlords, shelters, hotels and motels, the encampment turned into turf cliques with rules people had to follow. There were a couple of deaths, one a murder. Lots of overdoses and the surrounding clinic, hospital and residential areas were preyed upon by some of the homeless people. It was a disaster! The same city paid for the sheltering of homeless people in a huge hotel for the overflow of the Salvation Army and a Catholic Charities program. Lots of drug use, police contact and violence. Another disaster. Until the drug problem and mental health issues are addressed this will be the norm. I fear it will get worse.

Close to bathroom facilities, stores, benefits offices and the safety aspect, especially for women. Also, people may offer to help in the form of money or goods. Moving these people on is a POINTLESS task because they have to set up a "home" somewhere, they don't just disappear from the planet when forced to leave. Maybe do what Australia does, allow these people to live in their tents on unused land and have paid workers clean the area around them weekly. Australia has accepted that the spike in homelessness is due to a lack of affordable housing and they have accepted until that issue has been solved, people have to sleep and live somewhere and the numbers are going to keep increasing until somebody decides to solve the problem.

A large percentage of the homeless population are criminals and crazies. First thing to do is round up the criminals and The crazies and put them into the proper programs, the few that are left will benefit from the government money and programs... And we absolutely need to stop spending government funds on people who entered our country illegally.

A big problem is that rents are too high in Los Angeles and the requirements to get a place are impossible for a transitioning unhoused person to meet. Studios in the worst neighborhoods start at $1500. If you have bad credit, no landlord reference, not a job that pays 2-3X the monthly rent, they can’t get a place even if they have money and a job and the $4500 required to move in. And if they have an eviction record then they are really screwed. I know they are often on drugs and booze, but for many, it starts off as a matter of landlord greed and policy.

Exactly. I have 2 jobs and am homeless. These comments disgust me. Must be nice to be so privileged.

@@JulissaDixon-k5e Hang in there! I’m rooting for you. Find some way to get into a place. Don’t give up. I know it’s hard, but we have to use our intuition. Merry Christmas.

How come illegal immigrants get taken care of and not these people?

That's fine they are sweeping the streets in some major cities (San Francisco, Los Angeles, Venice) before a visit from their Chinese bosses come to town, but were exactly were have they moved the homeless folks to?
