The homeless culture does not vanish after acquiring a residence offered to impoverished people — Bug Biro
On the other hand, it will not be easy for the neighbours, as you noticed previously. Most of the families do not want to live close to a "poor" block and with this mentality we only get "hoods" where the buildings belong to "ex homeless people" but with a similar state of mind. Some would ask: who wants to have neighbours like them? — javi2541997
Homelessness is not that much of a problem; why else can governments ignore it? — Agent Smith
This and all the aggression are not qualities I experience with most homeless who look weak, depressed, submissive and traumatized, recently or back in their pasts. And this....Guidelines with claims, for survival, you must shed weakness in the form of compassion. — Bug Biro
Or is it people with BP are more likely to end up homeless?People who refuse admittance of what is true of themselves incubate mental illness. Commonly, bipolar disorder. — Bug Biro
Or is it that the same problems - abusive parents, mental illness, social changes that help some and hurt others - and so on is not resolved by giving them a residence. That they need other things to help with the root of their problems.The homeless culture does not vanish after acquiring a residence offered to impoverished people. — Bug Biro

I guess. I've experienced the homeless in two different countries, one in Europe, one the US. I didn't recognize what you described as the rule. I certainly saw examples of what you described. But not as the main group. Of course, who knows how good my sample and observations were.Is it possible these poor people you see more often are more lonely and less social than the ones I mostly encounter? — Bug Biro
Where I live now, they are treated vastly better. Eastern city in the US, there it was worse.Maybe the poor in the community you see them in treat the poor even worse than where I live. — Bug Biro
I don't know the best methods. I assume that in many cases the people either slid into drugs (and this generally has family problem roots), mental illness, some kind of social breakdown (loss of family, perhaps after loss of job), and then economic problems, perhaps with things like racism adding in stuff. Or even class issues. Once thrown onto the job market, if you can speak like someone with a middle class or better background, where reading and the right English was just assumed, this can also make it easier to take economic hits.I find it obvious the easy way to negate poorness is to offer poor people an equal amount of finances received by people who are not poor. Those root issues will still linger in people, except they will not have the extra burden of lack of funds. — Bug Biro

But I would think any successful program with the homeless would include some kind of assessment of needs beyond the living space. Do they need some work skills? psychotherapy? social skills training? trauma recovery processes? skills develpment? rehab from drugs? medical treatment? — Bylaw
Upper Working Class - steady employment, wages sufficient to avoid the stresses of poverty, but are not "comfortable"; they usually have minimal or no savings.
Middle Working Class - intermittent employment and wages insufficient to avoid periodic periods of economic distress (poverty).
Lower Working Class - intermittent and low wages which entail the continual stress of poverty.
Lumpenproletariat - destitute; not employed; may subsist on low government payments; immiserated; living outside of most social networks; homeless; unhoused (living on the street); unable to overcome their circumstances.

A nuanced range of responses is required, But in the end, affordable, secure housing, better jobs and incomes, access to education and health services are critical elements. — Tom Storm
Quick first assessment - if they are shooting up every day and need to support this with minor crimes, well you gotta get on that right away. Sort of a triage for priorities. — Bylaw
Then a second more thorough problem analysis, with as much client participation as possible. — Bylaw
Poor people are intensely conditioned by their laws. Time is mandatory for them to relinquish reticence and abandon indoctrinated unfriendliness, aggressiveness, denials, and distrust. — Bug Biro
Disqualification of asking police for help is the most dangerous rule for poor people — Bug Biro
And who profits from the illicit drug industry? — BC
It is very difficult for anyone to get back onto the lowest rung of the ladder once one has fallen off. Drugs pretty much guarantee one will not get back on the ladder. — BC
Drugs -- meth, opiates, cocaine, alcohol -- facilitate the plunge into the abyss of homeless encampments. — BC
We can't just shoot our mouths off - we need to back up our proposals, speak the language people who call the shots understand. Everybody understands money, oui mon ami? — Agent Smith
More money for more people equates to more riches for the rich. Those with the most wealth will be poorer until taxes do their trick. Affluent people are impatient and greedy, yet their issue runs remotely less shallow. Foresight is their crux. Forbearing profits them better, they determined. To exceed what is customarily generous must formulate the unknown. Fear is ample for people in command with doubts. Or, they do know what abundant generosity brings them. Mayhap their biggest fear. — Bug Biro
