Reply to comment by ak47workaccnt in State to open temporary shelter at Devens by ak47workaccnt

Yeah, I don’t understand how a 4 month stay at a shelter is going to get unhoused families back in their feet. There needs to be more long term solutions with affordable housing (and also raising the minimum wage but at least MA is decent about this.) The increase in homelessness is nationwide, there’s clearly a large problem here that a short term shelter can’t address.

yea well its more complicated now then just having X spot to put Y people

things like attaching credit scores to rent kinda put a damper on things also

I know more people that are struggling with housing from NOT paying their bills and spending on X,Y,Z

cooperating with others for a common goal of sustainable suitable safe housing should be everyone's top priority

many need help achieving that goal

others just need to stop being dinks, slobs, addicts, or other unattractive traits that prevent them from obtaining long term stability
