Really? Great catch huh?

Speaking of what should be obvious (to anyone, half or full brain) … how are these “agencies” in any position to *solve* homelessness? They don’t cause homelessness. They don’t originate funds to apply.

Just what, exactly, are they able to do to *solve* the cost of real estate and housing,

… and to keep people employed by various employers?

How would these agencies exactly *solve* the problems of addictions that have plagued humanity for thousands of years?

How would these “agencies” exactly go about healing the sick of cancer and schizophrenia, psychosis, depression, PTSD, and the myriad of other diseases that decimate victims and their finances and bankrupt them?

Fill the readers in on how “agencies” should go about stopping spousal abuse and stopping families from shunning and expelling their gay children.

Tell the readers how “agencies” can stop prisons from flooding the streets with ex-cons released without a dime in their pockets.

Maybe you have some ideas about how “agencies” can stop people from growing old without savings and investments, too?

For starters they should get some BLM land assigned to be a specific homeless camp area. Bring some medical care there and basic facilities (food, water, toilets, showers etc.) but keep them off our public streets in general. it's not for them to clutter up with their filth. If this is the lifestyle they've chosen, then they should be kept in a designated area OUT of the cities and OFF the streets. If there are circumstances where the homeless status doesn't involve mental health issues or drugs it would be good to have referrals available for them to find employment and once again be useful members of society.
