The government isn’t responsible for anyone. Each individual is response for themselves. The government can eat TRASH.

They need to quit enabling homelessness. It has just become another welfare program.

Per Columbia City Council meeting to discuss a report that outlines efforts to end homelessness, Feb 06, 2022 on KMIZ news.

The City has increased funding for homeless from $62,200 in 2016 to $302,346 in 2022, by reducing funding to children, youth, and family services, and mental health services. Way to go Columbia.

I think the community needs to step up and help the homeless. When are all of you going to realize the Government is not going to fix your/our problems. They have created the majority of the problems we face today.

Advocates for the homeless say the city could open the shelter more often and enhance services.

No. No need. The same pencils, markers, paper, and glue work from last year, just the same.

This is something I have never even stressed. You are acting like we are purchasing a car. I think this question is a fear mongering type of question.

I shop at Dollar tree to get all the supplies. The calculators get at Walmart. And FYI the stuff that's on the list don't half to get it all cause one thing is everything gets put in a bin anyways so they share it .
