A homeless soluton: IF people care!

To ALL: —>Having experienced homelessness (by losing an investment), I see that current “shelters” are warehouses, the pinnacle of Tokenism, the visible tip of the iceberg. Everyone needs a home, to maintain a steady balance to succeed…..homeless people are on shifting sand! “Shelters” should be “clearing houses” with a built in “buddy-system” [“matching” process begins the first day with someone who, like themselves, needs someone to look after their interests!] that prevents “drowning”; for even the oldest book says that it is “not good for man to be alone”…he just gets into trouble. A “clearing house” would get to know the person quickly and intensely (A predator wouldn’t like to be known, so he flees the community…..which is your best form of protection). People would work in the “clearing houses” that know the community and its’ people, like matchmakers, matching up folks with a compatable job, and living with someone in their home. The same book says “Open your homes to strangers”, and with proper human concern for the homeless first….. [instead of social “companies” who use the homeless for their funding ‘ grants, jobs and their own homes ‘ lives…..and are themselves the other problem, besides obscene community apathy] …..with proper concern for the people themselves who need a home, and who could fit quickly into a community’s job and housing structure, and complement it….. instead of herding the homeless out of sight into a basement “sewer” [As single men in Madison, WI are treated, with very unsanitary conditions]. A model of such a new system should be set up, and then used everywhere for man’s humanity to man! Best regards, James Sorrell http://jimsorrell.proboards33.com jamessorrell2003@yahoo.com 325 S.
