It does make me sad to read this but what I know from my own experiences is that most who are titled "homeless" are living the life that they have chosen. If you are foolish enough to give them your money they will gladly take it from you. If you build them free housing they we certainly come out of the woods of Deland and they will come from hundreds of miles around. Now if you put to many rules in place they will not stay for very long. Let us not also forget that most homeless people are drug users, alcoholics, or mentally ill. However, there are some who are nomads who enjoy the life style. The best social program any community can have is employment and opportunity. Handouts are never a good thing for anyone, not even the recipients.
