The way that I would help to eraticate homelessness would be to first inventory the houses that are boarded up, unkept and just there. Then, a commitee would be formed to research the property, location, ect. Inspectors would then be called in to evaluate the property, to see what would be necessary to bring the property up to standards. Contractors would be matched with properties. People would then be considered for the program. Men or women with skills would help and they themselves would be considered for the program. Thier services would save money also.
Those who have addiction issues would be offered a opportunity to try a new form of recovery, where Spirituality and not religion would be the base.
First to be considered for the program would be women who carry the burden of raising thier grandchildren because of addiction, and mothers who desire to be all they can be for thier children. Race would not even be considered, but need.
The land was NEVER meant to be possessed and sold for pure profit and it should be returned to its rightful owners.
This would build self esteem, utilize the abandoned houses, and promote self sufficiency. Teaching our young to value themselves, knowing they have responsibility to teach these simple yet very valueable ways. People can then grow thier own food, promoting health. They could generate wealth also buy trading and bartering with the products grown on thier land. Why do farmers get funds to grow crops to destroy or get paid to not grow crops? It just does not make sense.
- Tighten up the ropes to yer skivvies mates, it looks like we're going for a ride! Take care.
