If you knew someone/ had a friend who was homeless and in a shelter what would you do to help them? Aside from helping them financially. What things can or would you do to help them?
 


Depends on why they are homeless I suppose. If its just financial reasons, a guy like you can surly get them in as bottlepackagar at a berrywarehouse?

Its very debilitating to be homeless so if you're actually gonna do something about it, do it as fast as possible.
 
Get to your local home improvement store, buy a shed.

Run power and internet cable in there and have him write articles and shit like that at wickedfire... that way, rather than spending money you are making some
 
The only reason a person is homeless is because there not willing to work .. tell them to get a job if thats not enough get a second and even a 3rd job

It's going to be against all kinds of city regulations but that actually isn't a bad idea.
 
Find a way to help them start earning money for themselves.

Only when a person is earning money can they start to feel as though they have options in life. A person with no means of income will quickly succumb to desperation and depression.

Be a positive force in their life by helping them think of positive possibilities instead of the negative things that got them into this situation.

Just giving them money is not a solution at all. It will only remind them that they are not self-sufficient at this time. (Which will actually do more mental harm than good.)

Keep this in mind as well, "If you continually have a need to help someone, you will be keeping them helpless."

If you truly have a friend in need, help them to help themselves by brainstorming positive options and solutions for THEM to get themselves back on their feet. (Never do it for them.)
 
I'd make sure this person isn't doing any drugs, before anything. Substance abuse will cause all kinds of psychological fuck ups in this type of situation.

Next, I'd encourage this person to start (or continue) exercising and doing their best to stay in good health. When the job opportunity comes along an employer will take note of a prospects health and overall wherewithal.

There may be Govt. programs to assist, maybe you can help research. Altho, the Govt. does a better job at helping all these out of country fuck tards, so who knows.

Actually yes she is.

You make some valid points. I am trying all I can for them.
I'd give him the JC Penny bra ads from my newspaper so he can jerk off in the alley.
To bad it is a she haha








To go into a little more detail on the situation. She has 2 kids with her during the ordeal. Girls ares 6 and 2.

Fuck you! Stop outing my source of cheap labor!
 
Well I think there are two kinds of homeless people. Both are very different.

One is a chronic homeless person. Somewhere inside them they like the freedom and lack of responsibility that comes with being homeless - its comfortable. This kind of person will tell you they don't like being homeless but you could help them all you want and in the end they would just go back to being homeless.

The second is just someone down on their luck. This sounds like who you're dealing with Jason especially since she has a couple kids they really need somewhere to call home.

The first thing I would do is get her hooked up with some government support which she has probably already got dialed in. Then I would hook her up with a place and try to help her find a job. I mean what else can you really do besides these things?? Find out where the local food banks are if there are any around. They hook you up, trust me I know :D
