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.

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.
