How blessed many of us are that we own our homes, have a guaranteed income source and have never been put in the position of having nowhere to turn for help. There are families out there who had to do nothing more than lose their job, have a major setback that ate up their savings. How devastating it must be to lose your home, security, peace of mind. To have children to worry about. Keeping them safe from the elements and other humans, feeding them keeping them looking decent so they can attend school without ridicule. I do not believe for a moment most chose to be homeless. Most of the homeless that are seen are the ones who don't care about anyone or anything other than where their next temporary fix is going to come from, be it booze, food or whatever. Those with pride and fear of humiliation aren't going to be out advertising their situation. Not everyone has family or friends in the position to help. Support agencies have waiting lists that stretch out for over a year. I will be the first one to vote for my taxes to go to helping the homeless instead of salary for all the aids and assistants who do all the foot work needed to keep our elected officials in their chairs. Now that is a good guaranteed income. Do nothing just wait for the needed information to be gathered for you. Lend a helping hand it won't kill you and it might just get you a one way ticket to heaven when your time comes.
