Connected to wages that are too low. Poverty is a policy choice.

I would add lack of treatment for mental illness, drug addiction and alcohol addiction to the “is a crime” list.

We need to shout it! When a man was hauled before a judge during the Depression for stealing food, the judge ruled the city at fault and had all court officers pay a fine which he gave to the man.

I feel we could go aways toward addressing homelessness if we diverted the funds for the tacky golden ballroom to DC.

Loss of jobs, manufacturing, straight up jobs that provide a wage and a sense of self.

So true and real solutions for these precious beings is the only answer , but dump has no real answers.

15 million empty houses in this country

They act like homeless people are criminals, and their crime is that we have to see them.

Capitalism is the crime

You are correct 👍🏼

I agree. Well said.

There but for the grace of God

True. Also, having a debilitating mental illness with no access to affordable mental health care is not a crime either.

I grew up poor. I remember the excitement when a friend's family member finally got the life saving surgeries they needed ( thank you Gov Moonbeam).Housing and medical care should be a right of every American, especially considering the corporate welfare every taxpayer is expected to support.

The minimum wage is also a crime...
