I’m the director of a couple of these programs so I know what’s available for them and the funding issues. And I didn’t say they were lazy. I said they are choosing to be out there. What’s more important to the ones on the street is the freedom to be there and not have to do anything they don’t want to do. About 4 times a week, I go to Chinatown in the underpass by Canal and Cermak or 18th and Halsted and offer some of them who look like they need it the most, a clean bed in a home, with food. Some clothes, a hot shower and a chance to get food card, ID and a job placement or school program. All paid for…
They’ll turn it down because they “don’t want nobody telling them what to do” or “telling me when I gotta be back” or telling me I can’t smoke ok the house” etc. Instead, they’d rather be on the street. Doing what they want. I’ve gotten dudes jobs not just through my program but personal connections. My girl at the time was a bartender at Tim O Tooles. Got a guy a job bussing tables and she said he quit on her because he “ain’t with all this on the clock shyt”. By the end of the week we bumped into him by Union Station sweating like bytch on a 30 degree day, high as shyt. That was his choice. He could’ve stayed in my building even if he quit. He just didn’t want the structure.
Right now, if there’s ANY coli breh that needs a place to stay, I got a bed for you that’s paid until June 2022 if needed. You just have to attend my meetings at least once a day, don’t bring drugs or alcohol in my building, respect the 10pm curfew and turn a form in each week. I got you.
I say that to say there’s a lack of funding in plenty of areas but there’s with housing in Chicago, I huge city, there’s more empty beds than there are abled people (not mentally ill) fill them. Shelters, halfway houses, recovery homes etc. I have almost 10 beds right now. I got better shyt to do than driving around to homeless camps trying to help a nikka that ain’t trying to help himself. But I do it anyway.

Dudes you sayWhy wouldn’t he be? He’d fit right in with a lot of dudes in here.
In the last 40 years cities all over the country defunded many mental health institutions and many people were left to the streets who really shouldn’t have been there.
This idea that everyone who is homeless is lazy is a bullshyt conservative talking point to deflect from the fact that there are many people in America who hate funding and supporting any social programs for people who need it because they see others as beneath them.
A lot you fukkin clowns on this board are telling on yourselves.
