most of them are either mentally ill, addicted to drugs, or both. would love to see some sort of non-governmental entity set up some sort of program where they buy a shit load of land in the more sparse areas of the US, build housing units for the homeless, allow them to clean up and get proper counseling, then provide high quality training, either in the trades or with technical skills like cybersecurity or programming. when they’ve finished their training and are ready for the work force, they’re then set up with partnered companies in their area of expertise, provided they are not sent to work in the same location they were when they were homeless, as not to surround them with the same environment that enabled them to fall apart in the first place. after that, who knows. haven’t thought too much further than that. just brainstormed a bit so obviously some issues here but 🤷🏼‍♂️
