@orionhauk2968 7 күн бұрын

Because a lot of people are financially benefiting the longer people are homeless and the more people become homeless. The affordable housing complex industry is manipulating our society so that there is a huge demand for state-sponsored, taxpayer funded housing. Nonprofits, partners, and government agencies not only benefit from high salaries and retirements but act as a hub for profitable vendors in the homeless services industry.

They live with hate by the public as profitable organizations create this situation!
