DEDGirl, CA is really stupid. It’s dumping money into shelters that are abysmal & not a stepping stone to housing for people who want it. Many of those homeless don’t WANT to be housed, yet, that’s where they sink $$. Cause those are the homeless people complain about. But they take away programs that can help people that are trying desperately to be housed. My city only had a “safe parking” program for a few winter months. Now the only 1 in the county is exclusive to 1 town’s pop. Criminalized poverty 😡
