Why are there non crackhead homeless people still on the street after 5+ years?

[Mystic]

I get why the crackheads are 10 years on the street because the crack or whatever removed their mental capacity to have a job and not smoke crack on the job/leave the job for whatever reason/etc but I'm talking about the sane ones, the ones no different than you and me it's just they are homeless. They may do some drugs but they are mentally sane just like the white guys who work for big companies that snort coke here and there how are they on the street after 10+ years or close to it? Like you can't be sooo lazy you'd rather be sleeping on the street then on a nice bed

They probably just gave up.

When I got out of prison I was homeless in the dead of winter in Milwaukee

I had a job within two weeks and an efficiency apartment a few weeks after that. And that's with a felony and a huge gap in my job history.

I was sleeping in homeless shelters, Parking ramps or in the hall of whatever apartment building had the front door unlocked

In NYC the men's only homeless shelters aren't safe, its safer to spend a night on the E train rather than in an homeless shelter.



Finding a job that pays a livable wage when you have no skills is very difficult.

Most jobs don’t pay a livable wage. Even the “cheapest” rent prices in this country are meant for people making at least 80k on paper. The overwhelming majority of people in this country are functionally homeless.

Either grandathered into a house or structured lease that allows them to either pay no rent or very little. They don’t feel the fire like most so they think shyt is sweet and throw stones from their glass house,

Guarantee that if majority of “middle class” liberals lost their home they would be homeless eventually after burning through their savings on rent/other necessities.

Yup. Opportunity, or the lack thereof

I get that but when you homeless that money can stack minus food money and the occasional hotel/gym for a bath so eventually that minimum wage will build up enough to have 6+ months of rent so if you on the streets for 10+ years and you not mentally handicapped there's no excuse IMO

They are not going to hear this but you are right. But it's about to be felt though. People are about to get the biggest wake up call of their life.

I'll see if I can get her to post it to her social media. I don't really use social media outside of this site

Temp agencies are great for people with felonies

 

[I Really Mean It]

why does a community of black people always create threads that mock the economic misfortune of others?

 

[Monsanto]

If you look at the weakest parts of a society people reflecting those points will suffer.

Mental illness will put you on the street. Your mind will convince you to burn bridges and live out in the cold. Compound that with any addictions they may pick up and it's over.

When I was a hardcore alcoholic I hung out with some homeless fellow drunks. This was in DC. It's hard out there for them. It's hard to get a job when you have no address or such a large gap in work history. Plus, they were drinking all day. It's hard to get out of that hole without some help, and a lot of people don't have that help.
