10 supporters are talking about petitions related to Homeless Advocacy!
Because 100% of people being evicted or finding themselves HOMELESS with ZERO SUPPORT SYSTEM except their beloved pet are traumatized by their situation and therefore eligible for their pet to be designated as an EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMAL which ARE ALLOWED IN SHELTERS as a REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION even though Suffolk forces poor people that can't afford Attorney's to a Fair Hearing - KNOWING that the person with the MD note is the one with the RIGHT'S. They make it so difficult that people resort to tents in the freezing cold and live in sheds in people's backyards just to not be separated from their beloved furry family members. HOUSING FIRST is the way to go!!! Give the KEY - Encourage the JOB and JOB TRAINING and as people build their own support system - slowly take away the subsidies. Even BIRDS have a NEST to go home to. HOUSING FIRST IS HUMAN, and NECESSARY for anyone to THRIVE instead of DIVE ..........into a deep depression.
Given almost any topic that requires empathy, most people who have not experienced life dismantling circumstances, write it off like it is not their problem. Or worse, criticize! People who have experienced much, care much!
2 weeks ago I was homeless. I got no help except food pantries. I'm 70 and disabled on social security. No one cares. If the old can't take care of themselves they should die out instead of being a burden on society , they think. The hell with all you do goodness who would have let me freeze to death. In Columbus there is a 3 week waiting list to get into a shelter. There are 100s of homeless camps. Cheap rent here is 1000 a month. Where are our government officials. Finally the governor initiated policies to make it harder to evict and to freeze rents preventing greedy landlords from killing the poor including the sick, old and children. Karma is real.
