Last week, I received notice that a comment had been left on my YouTube site that responded to a video clip of the CitySquare Food Pantry that I posted over two years ago.
I was homeless in dallas for 20yrs an thanks too city square, they
helped me with a furnished apartment rent free. I was addicted
to drugs an alcohol and with the help of case workers an appa
Im drug an alcohol free...............
I don't know the answer to that, but does it matter? Rent in a cheap apartment in Dallas is about $600/month - $7,200 a year. The easiest part of the homeless population costs 10's of thousands in public services (hospital visits, jail time for vagrancy, etc.) each, every year. He's better off housed. Everyone else is better off, both not stepping over him on the sidewalk, and financially. It's a win/win.
BTW--this gent has been in our housing for 2.5 years!
ReplyDeleteIs it still rent free?
