if people want out of Poverty, they would quit using drugs and go to work, but has long as our government keeping handing out free phones, food stamps, housing vouchers, they will not make a effort to get clean and work

Max DeYoung

As long as it brings with it some accountablity. If the point in time numbers come down over 2 years, great. If not, she should be fired.

Gabe West

Yes, and not looking like Portland or California is a good start also

Just another waste of our money!

Just more pandering

Anyone who uses the word houseless is full of it to start with. One of the many people who make a living by saying all the right things and doing almost nothing.

It's a clever way to spend tax money. That's about all.

Kimmy Wasatch

No, you can't help people if they don't want it. Houseless are pretty much doing what they want, legally or not.
