This Country needs to WAKE UP TO THE FACT that the Government has simply abandoned the homeless as well as the elderly/addicted with no place to live.
We need to elect people who will take up this issue and I am more than willing to tell you all how in hell to fix it!
Here is a link to (two) of the abandoned health care facilities in the US. https://www.abandonedamerica.us/abandoned-government-and-social-institutions

So how about we spend the Ukraine money on getting these institutions fixed and backed on track to house ALL of these people?
Stop spending money on Ukraine and fix the issues of the homeless!
What I do not understand, frens, is how you and I know what needs to be done, yet the idiots who were rigged elected, do not give a damn about how we could cure homelessness as well as addiction.
I am so pissed, folks, so pissed. I wish I could connect with someone who would listen to my ideas and had the balls to work with me.
a good idea, but there is a reason those facilities are abandoned.
The buildings are dirty, as in they need complete lino re-fits to be hygienic, and in institutions this means coping up the walls, so that there is no crack in the corner for germs to lurk. The buildings are hard to run because of the lack of technology and would need major concrete drilling and service trays fitted out for fibre, ventilation etc; They are also cold, because of insulation standards that were non-existent decades ago, So they suck up huge resources just to heat them.
To get them up to spec is an insane expense. It would be better to start again.
The problem is not housing, because we could mobilise to build anything. The problem is the reason why these people are homeless. They need help, sure, but not how you think. I don't think the answer is in big buildings, either.
Imagine how much of your issues could be fixed with 40 billion dollars!
