Comment on Homeless People Don’t Need an App, They Need a Fucking House

Comments

Homeless people need a LOT more than a house. Every single one has their own story and circumstances. From what I have read about people who have made their way out of homelessness at my local Rescue Mission, it was a multistep, and long, road to get back to "normal". One man spent years at the Mission. Just giving them a house would not have saved them.

Indeed. Without a education your new found asset will likely only lead to worse destruction, much like the process of how winning the lottery bankrupts most winners.
