The Problem Solver, CA: Is There A Solution To End Homelessness?

Yes, there is a solution to end chronic homelessness in America and in the world. The solution is us (you, me and everyone). We have always known the solution to end chronic homelessness, we just haven't done it. Why? Because of the various reasons which are as follows:

- Most people don't care, because they believe it is not their problem or responsibility to help the homeless or to end chronic homelessness.

-Most people don't want to pay the price it will cost to end chronic homelessness in their city, state or country.

-Most people don't think it is an important enough problem to spend the time and resources needed to eliminate homelessness.

-Most people don't want to make business, personal or financial sacrifices, because they are afraid that they will lose something or not benefit from it by doing so. In addition to all of us doing our part to end homelessness-a suggested solution would be to...

Improve homeless shelters to prevent shelter stay of the chronically homeless, idle and lazy freeloaders from making it their home and living in them rent and responsibility free. Shelters are negative magnets which draws these particular homeless clients who daily, monthly, and annually stay in shelters (up to 6 mos. or 1 yr.) and receive everything that they need free of charge, which after they do, they are put out of the shelter (to go to another shelter or back to the streets to live) when their shelter stay expires, or when they fail to comply with the shelter's policies and procedures.

The homeless can return to the shelter to stay again (which some continuously and habitually do, when they decide that they no longer want to support themselves by working, maintaining employment and or housing, or be responsible), after the required expiration time and up to the maximum shelter stay required time, causing themselves to repeat their homeless and irresponsible lifestyle cycle of sleeping, living, and panhandling on the streets and in shelters all over again and becoming chronically homeless.

For the homeless who are temporarily homeless for the first time as victims of circumstances which they could not prevent, one emergency shelter is sufficient in every city region or district to assist them. And, to effectively assist and restore housing to this type of homelessness-a suggested solution would be to...

-Construct one Emergency Shelter in every city region/district, or operate from the Red Cross only (the way that it was intended originally) in every city that will allow a short term (if necessary) emergency stay according to their temporary emergency situation.

-or-

-Construct Homeless Apartment Complexes or trailer parks to house the homeless and allow the homeless who are enrolled in school or a work program to receive city, state, government or private grants or assistance to sponsor the homeless transitional efforts by temporarily paying their (referral) low income rent in part or full.

-or-

-Provide the homeless with rent or housing vouchers that will allow the homeless to stay with their family or friends, or in referral housing (apartments, motels, rooms, trailers, etc.) temporarily until recipients are financially able to support themselves.

-or-

-Allow the homeless or recipients of financial aid, housing vouchers, food, etc. to work as contractors or volunteers for non-profit organizations, businesses, private parties, the city, etc.) to earn the assistance that they temporarily receive, and to prevent recipient fraud, laziness, freeloading, and waste of the resources that they receive.

-or-

-Provide businesses and private parties with tax breaks or incentives for hiring or housing the homeless. And, for the homeless who choose to be homeless, live on the street (because they refuse to support themselves or be responsible) and who refuse to help themselves transition from their homelessness-a suggested solution would be to...

"The hungry need food, but the homeless need housing, So, stop giving the homeless food (They get enough of it). They need housing. Get them an affordable place to live. This is how you help the homeless"-TPSCA

Please tell us of your suggested solution to this statement and to end homelessness in the world. What do you think should be done? Now though the above suggested solutions, and even yours aren't the only solutions to end or control homelessness, they are however some ideas we should consider to better control or eliminate it in our city, state, country, and in the world. In other words, since what we have been doing for centuries and what we are doing now have not been effective enough to greatly reduce or put an end to homelessness, then the Suggested Solutions in this article could be a new tactic to consider.

We welcome any suggested solution(s) that you may have to ending homelessness, because homelessness still exist in the world and is growing every minute we do nothing to prevent, control or put an end to it, and because Homelessness is costing tax payers millions if not billions of dollars a year via government programs, hospital cost, etc. to support (not eliminate) temporary and chronic Homelessness in America alone. If we could put the homeless to work ASAP by creating more jobs and affordable housing for them, then we can reduce greatly temporary homelessness and eliminate chronic Homelessness in America and in the world we believe. And we believe everyone can reach one or more, if they do what they can to help. Homelessness is a man made problem that requires a solution from man, not God.

God will not do for man, what man can and should do for himself. This is why God has not put an end to homelessness (or hunger, etc.) in the world, because it's man's problem, not God's. And, yes God cares, but He wants, and is waiting for us to care and do something about our problems. This being said, let us work together (with God's blessings) to put an end to Homelessness, and Hunger in the world. I know that it can be done if we work together-"All Things Are Possible To Them That Believe"(Mark 9:23/KJV Bible).
