Officials Accountability, in Applying General Assitance Laws
Officials Accountability, in Applying General Assitance Laws
The Issue
All the New England states and fifteen or more states, has the last hope in aid. When you can no longer afford to pay your own rent, food, heat, medical prescriptions, there are state laws which govern a program called by three different names in the last hope aid, in the North east. In Maine it’s called General Assistance, in New Hampshire, it s called Town Welfare, in the remaining cold new England states, its call general relief.
Aid is suppose to be validly applied in a manner inconsistent or contrary to the state law. In reality, to save cash each state law’s seem to be uniformly BADLY applied. Resulting in without a drop of compassion by the trusted officials, people who are eligible are being harshly denied.
In the long run this erroneous practice fails save the town or city cash. It comes out of the state when the homeless is hospitalized.
Hospitality House Inc. want your help in ending this injustice of American Laws. If you think its unjust to turn away eligible people from aid, please tell these lawmakers so by signing this petition to make them aware that good laws are being badly utilized.
Some other states flock to duplicate some Maine programs. And you need not reside in Maine to ask for fairness. If our lawmakers know people across the nation and the world are following their actions they might do the right thing.
