Growing homeless encampment in Cleveland

[@mdmace8690]

Cleveland has a homeless shelter at East 55 and Carnegie. That’s a whopping 1.7miles away; however, the shelter demands sobriety. The tent dwellers aren’t interested.

[@marksmith4892]

aaaand of course this leftist media outlet isn't going to mention that fact.

[@samanthaclark2863]

Shelters are overworked, underfunded, and certainly not capable of providing the drug rehab needs that would be a part of sobriety for all these people.

[@mdmace8690]

@@samanthaclark2863 , when the business owners flee due to the squalor and lawlessness, the “underfunding” will dry up to ZERO funding. There are lots of examples in other cities that have high taxes. Portland, San Fran, Seattle, Venice Beach are all slowly rotting. Is that the path you want for Cleveland?

[@thevictoryoverhimself7298]

@@samanthaclark2863 The purpose of a shelter is to "shelter". Like, from wind and rain and starvation. its not a drug rehab facility or prison. They'd be happy i am sure to shelter addicts if said addicts wouldnt go on manic episodes and attack the non-addicts. -northeast ohio native and volunteer.

[@pauldemelto6650]

That's obviously not happening. Town homes keep going up. Rents keep going up. Less than a mile away. Businesses aren't leaving. Nice try. Some people just hate drug addicts. Too bad we let the people ultimately responsible for the shit on our streets get off with a slap on the wrist... every single time. And if you think that shelter requires sobriety, you're outta your fucking mind. Residents buy dope in the shelter itself, from employees and others. Get a clue. The problems are WAY more complicated than your bandwidth can handle, clearly.

My stepson is living in one of these places and it breaks my heart because he's so talented so smart but boyfriend who is my age almost 50 and God willing to the street. And it's so worrisome to me because he has mild autism and he has no idea how this man old enough to be his father is ruining his health and his youth in some dangerous and scary train jumping can't living unmedicated dual diagnosis nightmare take on Jack Kerouac meets Vegas cowboy noir. It's not being an artist it's not authenticity and it's sad for the both of them but he's No longer a minor I can't ground him and demand him home. He just got himself through rehab and this first love of his Yankton right back into the cold it's almost Christmas. It's going to snow I want to find my kid. It's very very troubling to me and I know the boyfriend through my former career in the mental health field working with court ordered added sent alcoholics who have psychiatric challenges as well. 403 in the morning and I'll go back to driving and momming looking for Matteo shortly. I really wish this city had a bit more funding for such outreach programs with regards to homelessness also the kids of those people because that is what all serious heartbreaking to see. How many of these mums on opiates end amphetamines were just roaming from abandoned house to shelter to the occasional flea bag hotel that this or that non-profit made purchase 4 weeks shelter. In something very dangerous areas with sex workers drug dealers opening plying their wares at the school age children play with their littlest pet shop figurines or barbiesr or matchbox cars I'm a worn out hallway carpeting. My son-in-law is a cop and he told me about that. Grandkids are that age. I can't even imagine what that must be like for those kids.

[@GARYEKANE]

Cleveland has a severe lack of resources and funding. In the past many leaders opted to bus the homeless to warmer climate cities which served to reduce the homeless population as well as get people out of the cold. My heart goes out to the less fortunate but I can also understand the frustration of those living in the areas that have also been dealing with the growing crime often found near the encampments. Their is no simple solution, no quick fix or resolution. The problems faced by dealing with the root cause of many people becoming homeless alongside the increasing volume is insurmountable for current city funding and resources. One suggestion would be to provide a camp area away from residence and businesses that would provided sanitation such as restrooms and trash disposal but this has not worked out for most cities that have attempted it in the past, especially those with largely strained services.

Gee that does sound very idyllic and it would be really wonderful if I ever could take that idea In the event I was ever a person of substantial means monetarily Because that would be really just something I'd love to see happen. And animals? So many of them do need homes also and families. And it is shown in many studies many situations that people who are dealing with trauma or anxiety or other mental health issues bonding with animals is very important and very therapeutic. It's also dramatically diminished the odds for prisoner recidivism in institutions of the states as well when prisoners have been assigned the responsibility of puppy parent raising and training service dogs for the disabled. And for those who have lost their home but already have a Fins,feathers paws member of the family is very reassuring to be able to remain with a pet. For all involved including backpack. I was briefly enough panicking a few months ago because a family member has mental health challenges that caused me to lose my apartment because They were not on the right medication and it got loud and several times before I was told that I must leave. I was horrified because I could not see more to find anywhere to go to indie date I had agreed to be vacating my premises was looming. I have several cats and I was terrified that I would just be in this limbo until I found something after school year was a little further long perhaps? And in the meantime I imagined situation a Lakewood friend of mine I've known since our teens. Severely epileptic, adorably assertive geriatric calico Siamese mix cat who has been old enough to vote for a while now. My friend has severe Generalized Anxiety Disorder and was severely abused as a child and teenager are his very firing brimstone fundamentalist mother who used all manner of sadistic behavior and physical violence trying to make him not be gay. He has been on SSCI his entire life but lost the apartment he'd lived in since 1998 when the owner passed away and the son who inherited the beautiful historical building decided the three-story seven unit was long overdue for overhaul and updates. The for a couple of years before he died and really did not raise the rent for my friend and four of the units were occupied by tenants. This guy has a husband since 2015 however that has been comes from a family of very very homophone with me inclined Italian immigrants. He's been in the closet waiting for his elderly parents to die before he can live authentically with my cat loving friend in the open. He was given very little notice to vacate and did not find a place in time. He and his pets have been living in an extended stay out in Avon for nearly a year and a half. I visited and he had Floor to ceiling height stacks of his belongings because he couldn't really afford a storage space. And his cat and dog scratching around stinking of old animals crappy hotel. Pooping intermittently. Fighting. I feel terrible because I was imagining this situation but with four times as many paws and poops. Plus a husband and a cousin who lives with us. What if I did not find anywhere? How long would I be living in my own potential limbo any outer suburb area that is impossible to navigate without a car and my car was the thing that went right at the last moment when we needed to move. Because I hit a deer. Much of my livelihood involves deliveries and rideshare driving so I was screwed deeply as up pizza deeps its dish. I was screwed. For a few moments picturing my army of felines. Having to take my disabled post-stroke future corpse of a body walking to get food if it was out of my budget to have something sent to extended stay America so I can eat. I just pictured it it was horrible and I was screwed in that I couldn't do anything about the car. I'm not going to borrow my kids cars. I was horrified that I'd be in stinkyoop River. Luckily I was accepted to the townhouse I applied for a month earlier or more. But I was starting to panic. It's really that close how many of us are only a couple of catastrophic and (not s even super catastrophic until they line up for the perfect storm of dominoes catastrophe sitting off a series of unfortunate events... So many of us Really are so very close by a paycheck or two to being without a home. It's happened to a friend of mine another state who I attended college with. She With the music journalist background and her success as A&R in Nashville working with Toby Keith, Carrie Underwood, Tim McGraw. Better marriage fell apart after the loss their young daughter. She began drinking heavily and quit taking her medications for bipolar regularly. She's not want to tell her parents how bad things had gotten but was facing natural homelessness as well. I invited her to Ohio actually to regroup but two days before she was to arrive she mentioned her boyfriend She would be bringing He had an extensive criminal record in Indiana and was also on probation parole actually. I didn't feel comfortable with someone I didn't know in my home. With a record of several assaults against women and a police officer no less? Yeah I was not comfortable with this and it kind of may have earned our friendship. Her dog was about 20 years old then. He died shortly after on account of all that upheaval in his age. She went to a rehabilitation her ex husband paid out of pocket for and is doing very well now but it was really just just such a sad story that she couldn't even take her dog and only a few years earlier was a very successful affluent respected name with a McMansion suburbs of Nashville. Her homeowners association probably cost nearly much I'll pay for rent in Cleveland. She said the hardest most painful part of losing her home with the pets that were divided in her divorce and then thinned by scythe off the grim reaper.

Anytime somebody has to start by saying they're a "good Christian, but" is not a good or Godly person! The apartments he owns rent out for more than they are worth btw!! He kicked up the prices just like every other greedy a-hole did.

Well the gov did just say that they couldn't evict anyone for THREE YEARS. they didn't stop taxing the owners on that property during that time. they decided that their house only had tax value to the gov and they had no right to compensation for their house. If i was a landlord back then I'd sell all my property to Ryan homes (who are absolute garbage) then listen to the complaints that there's nothing affordable to rent. Obviously not, you robbed the people who could have helped and not they're done with you.

Prices for everything went up so of course housing prices are going to go up, especially when so many lost so much from renters not paying and not being able to kick them out
