The Chronically Disabled Homeless, Innovatively Assisting Them.
Beyond Social Welfare...
Selfishness is a reality that is true, yet also there is fairness and responsibility of humanities to consider. I do not believe the tax payers can afford to help all of the homeless but partially for sure. Perhaps Section 8, welfare and food drives are a good example.
There however is the reality despite these types of assistances existing, of homelessness. I think that a culture, a society and a nation that genuinely care should develop further assistance programs that are voluntary.
For instance a money collection jar or container in every super market to subsidies the independent living requirements of those with chronic disabilities such as mental illness in any form that are homeless and disabled.
Believe it or not, some people without a normal home prefer to be on the streets or out in the woods in a tent. Some disabled American Veterans actually prefer to be out in the woods, but perhaps they would benefit as well as non-veterans from the immediate funding availability such as what is proposed.
I also think that a voucher program funded by citizens strictly for certain groups of people through larger franchised supermarkets would do wonders. People that want to donate a $20 voucher to those in need, could do so. The funding would be made available to certain groups of people regardless of belief, race or culture.
Such as victims of domestic violence, homeless veterans or just the disabled homeless as examples. The vouchers would be specified and paid for on check out and be deposited electronically too special accounts within the communities with a smaller % going to a general fund for all over.
The vouchers can be distributed by social workers, the police whom interact with the homeless, other departments such as the fire department for victims of a home burning down and that have immediate need.
