The homeless number grows greater everyday! Parents don't feel safe taking kids to the park, homeless take over sidewalks, crime rates dramatically increase , every store someone approaches you for help. The police move these people from block to block or take them to jail and fine them. Making their current cirrcumstances even harder. Most these homeless came to the street s free of drugs and have found the embarrassment, Shame, humiliation, pain and difficulties somewhat tolerable by numbing themselves masking everything with the use of drugs. Un Able to buy or mantain personal hygiene makes it impossible and a feeling of hopelessness when it Comes to getting a job or keeping a job. Most nights we beat out selves up asking why we continue to do this over and over again wanting a different life a hope of a future but finding no foundation we dont know where to even start. There are no shelters no mental health offered . however we hand out 200 cash 200 stamps to those that even qualify . 200 with the cost of living in pomona is 34 % higher then the national average . how many empty wharehouses and empty buildings do we have in this city . we understand the concerns of crime where we house the homeless this is a way of life we havent always known its the way we must survive out here. We have enough resources to seperate the homeless in a large group in one place it will only lead to the same vicious cycle. Seperate into smaller groups have onsite counselor s, case managment. Thearpist psychiatric care. These behavors are learned and with time and the desire we all have inside can be undone. We are ALL EQUAL PEOPLE .
