San Francisco Health Program to Expand Transgender Coverage

[festive1]

I don't fully agree that we should force people into housing situations they don't want... But allowing people to continue living on the streets isn't an answer either. Social workers are a lot of time good eggs (not all, of course there are exceptions), I spoke to a slew of them trying to prevent my dad from going on the streets/shelter. They all gave me the same line, "You can't help someone who isn't willing to reach out to the resources available to him." I don't think there is a good, cookie cutter answer to homelessness. I think if we work on bigger social issues (drug addiction, mental illness acceptance and normalization, domestic violence, etc.) homeless rates would get better, slowly, but surely.
