What else do they want as proof?
I just checked what our local senior services are currently offering. There are several things. If you need help locating resources in your area you can PM me where you live and I’ll try to find stuff for you. It’s not always official channels, could be random volunteers willing to help. |
My community is heavy on programs for the homeless. I know this because I have called around. This is a very wealthy town so the homeless flock here. There is a whole population of middle income and university students...ignored. Yet homeless programs keep expanding for a population that doesn't pay taxes, uses all public spaces as day shelters, and has no respect for property. It is so bad I moved outside of town and so that is why I think I can walk in my neighborhood...less people here...and without buses running as often I don't think the homeless will come out here. I know it is not correct to talk about the homeless negatively but all they have brought to my town is drugs, drugs, and more drugs. I am so tired of this place. I have to figure out a way to get out of here. (I was a volunteer and worked with the homeless back when they just drank. They didn't do drugs like meth)
