I don't believe the state has any legal obligation to provide for the homeless. You don't have to believe in god to go to church. You don't have to pretend to be Christian to go to bible study. But you do have to go to church and bible study to gain admittance to this shelter. Sad, but true.
I think it's best to do what you've go to do in order to have a better chance of getting back on your feet sooner.
By that logic they wouldn't have any obligations to give food stamps or cash assistance or anyother programs for people in need, where do we draw the line
By what logic? The logic is that they are legally obligated to provide food stamps and cash assistance to those who qualify. They are not obligated to provide shelter. Not legally. My only logic is...that those are the actually legalities.
Depending on your state, you can apply for income based housing. Most states have a long waiting list. I have never seen a shelter run by the state. Most likely it is run by the church. Their shelter, their rules. Ya know?
