Homeless situation....

In my opinion , based upon nothing more than gut feelings, it would take three separate programs or phases of a program to make a big dent in the local homeless population. (About 16,000 people in my county)

1. meaningful drug interdiction
2. effective mental health interdiction
3. Something akin to the WPA, CCC and PWA jobs of the 30s

This would give an easy to step onto platform to build up lives from. The costs of course would be tremendous, but the returns would be worth it


Just my opinion and worth less than a cup of coffee, but I believe it
