I of course recognize that some homeless people do not want the help, but for those that actually want to get out, it may help. If anything, at least give some hope to those that want to get out. I never understand why some homeless reject help, must be a mental or a addiction problem or something.

Hmmm...

Hopefully there will soon be actual jobs available and actual interviews for those folks to wear the suits they buy in this place to.

Sounds like an interesting idea but I was actually hoping for something like this(Shop Housing Works) on a smaller scale when I saw that link.

There is a big difference between someone who is "homeless" who wants and will accept help, and someone who is a "bum" who has no serious interest in turning their lives around.

Unfortunately, the bums in downtown Atlanta far outweigh the true homeless who need/want the help. But hopefully there will be some, who seek it out and will be able to get something out of it.
