I never understood how homeless people could even afford drugs. Shit I have a job and am pretty comfortable and don’t think I could!
Fentanyl is incredibly cheap. As I understand it $5 is more than enough. You'll earn more than enough holding a sign on any street corner and then you won't care that you're sleeping under a bridge for a while. That's why people who are unfortunate enough to lose their jobs or healthcare so often wind up in that situation.
Totally agree, they have to be separated and thats one reason why many stay on the street. Many times that person that doest want help doesn't want to be in a shelter where there are rules and a pitch and help way. I know first hand many times my fam member would leave because of basic rules that he wouldn't abide by. Its not a one shoe fits all deal but new approached need to be tried. I have probably been involved with 25 separate council sessions both group and just fam.
