A lot of homeless people don't want jobs they just not free stuff.
It's always funny to look up the videos of people going up to the home was would sign saying will work when begging for money and offering them a job and then denying it.
Or when they clean out homeless encampments and the vast majority of the homeless don't want to go to the shelter because they like they're like on the street getting free money from the government doing drugs
It's not required in many States. Take California for example you don't need a real address you can just give an Intersection. The fact is the homeless problem is really just a bunch of lazy people who want to live in A-tent all day you he drugs and the government saying that's all right if that's what you want to do and enabling the problem.
1. They might have an addiction be it drugs, alcohol, gambling etc 2. They might have a lengthy criminal record. 3. The skills they do have that could get them a job most would make a career out of might not be in demand where they are. 4. They could be to far mentally gone. If it was as easy as you make it out to be then there would not be as many people living on the streets, in parks etc as there is.
Homeless people do not usually have the experience and educational credentials to be useful to employers. Hiring people is a big commitment, even a full time minimum wage salary is a large burden for a business. A lot of homeless people have criminal records or drug addictions. What happens if they injure themselves or another employee (or even just say something racist or sexist) then the business could lose millions in lawsuits.
People don't get homeless over here. Not getting a job doesn't justify treating people like they don't deserve to live. I guess a shelter is better than dying on the streets but proper social security systems actually work and let people live like human beings.

Most homeless people are mentally ill. They couldn’t get steady work if they tried. This issue dates back to when Reagan was the California governor. Read this:
Um we can't hire people that dont apply or if they do they are unqualified. I met a homeless man sitting in front of the propery i owed covered in bricks. I said if you stack all these bricks in a pile ill pay you $15 an hour cash. Which is a lot because i live in a place where many people make federal min wage of $7. He said no. So obviously thats why he's homeless.
I look at it a little different. Most of the homeless or street people around here are that way because they spend what ever money the get on drugs or alcohol.
No I used to be in one. They drug test you so you can't get in unless you are clean. Also some people get jobs and are out of there within month or two and are back on their feet
First and foremost I want to let you know I do support the LGBT community, so i understand why you out here sticking up for your friend of Dorothy. #NoProbsMan

Have you seen the background checks even menial jobs put applicants through these days? Someone with bad credit has little chance of getting hired.
Really? Bad credit?
Yup...

How do they get free money from the government without an address? Please explain

There are no easy solutions to poverty, but homeless shelters are a lot more than nothing.

One of the ways to deal with homelessness is tackling poverty. That said, I agree.

Little known fun fact: It's cheaper to just give a homeless person a house than it is following the systems we currently have in place for them.

as someone who helps the homeless from time to time and spends time talking to them there is only one thing looks dumb here
Lot of the homeless are veterans who come home broken.
No..
Homeless shelter is something that should be maintained and improved..
sure, but some homeless people are homeless because they don't want to work
Not true. Believe it or not, sometimes it is businesses who don't want them to work.
They could want to work and just not get hired, and wind up in a shelter. That's exactly what's dumb about homelessness in these cases.
Sometimes it can be domestic abuse or low wages, but unemployment is a solid reason.
Interesting perspective.
A lot of them are being bussed here to NC
You're kinda dumb
How so? Because you disagree?
