This was available during the cold spell at christmas. I gave guy a sandwich and put him on bus to downtown. 5 days later he told me he thought I saved his life and he was back and had a part time job and going back and forth to the tent in SD Also SD had hep C cases and was disinfectant large portions of downtown. Putting them in tents seems like better than motels.
That’s great that you can make a difference.
The motels solution doesn’t work; here in NJ it became a permanent arrangement in some places and ruined neighborhoods. Some of the worse parts of the Jersey shore had that program contribute to their death spiral years ago, and just recently there was a news story about the how the oppressed children of the welfarians weren’t allowed to use the pools in some motels. I suspect the adults get too comfortable in those arrangements.
