But we need to eliminate homelessness entirely. It's a tear in the fabric of our country. I am glad that people are thinking of the needy in these times, though. When - not if - we return to some degree of normalcy, I would really like to see solving the homeless crisis addressed, and decisively.

(612 posts)5. Homelessness breaks my heart, too
I've been there, several times in my life, and the crisis keeps getting worse. This pandemic will likely push even more people out of their homes and the problem will grow...
I am eternally grateful for the people who try so hard to help.
Thanks for your compassion.

Most big cities try to make life uncomfortable for homeless people so they will move on to somewhere else.
