| I would say that in the last 20+ years of working on placement for released offenders there have been possibly 4-5 that did not have a place to go. Even then we have worked out Independant Living arrangments for them. This has not seemed to be a major problem for released inmates in the Ohio system. | |
| We are in the beginning stages of creating housing for the homeless with supportive services. We are excited about the possibilities for the offenders to have the opportunities they need to become successful community members. | |

Being an employee, we here at St. vincent de Paul are very concerned, fustrated... with the walk-ins that come in and express that they have no where to turn to. Especially our SO's, we have two specific locations where they can lay their head at night. |

Within the San Diego, California the ex-offender and the homeless serves no purpose to the affluent. Therefore with very few exceptions all doors are closed to them. The bottom line is economics. It is worthy to note that within the past year several local politicians and social service agencies have been exposed for corruption and mismanagement of funds. Do I need to say more? |
| I'm sure the affluent in San Diego would like to hang on to their affluent belongings, so, it would be in their best interest to get their politicians interested in providing housing and job training to ex-offenders to help them become law abiding community members. This would help the ex-offenders and they would be helping themselves at the same time. When people have nothing, and see no future for themselves, they will continue to take the property of the affluent! Makes sense, doesn't it???? | |
| is an ongoing problem but getting better. No body cares much and heaven forbid in their back yard. | |
| Who's responsibility is that? Yes, homelessness is a problem, but so is crime. I could be homeless, but I chose not to be. How? I got a job. | |
