And a jobs program ,,, where else can a guy with a degree in navel gazing get a high paying job?
Well .... ? There are only so many slots open in academia for professors ... to teach navel gazing ... but the homeless industry is booming.
I noticed MANY of the providers who work in the system always like to tell their story of when they were homeless.
Self perpetrating ... and subsidized.
An industry that produces homeless folks and Providers ... all feed and clothed by me and you.
.... spit .... compassionate my @$$
It is an industry for the left.
All programs designed by the left and funded by the taxpayer are created to give cushy jobs to friends and relatives and to funnel some of the money back into democrat coffers.
They tell YOU it’s designed to help whatever ails you.
“It is an industry for the left.”
It fits right in with the Marxist left ideology of “You will own nothing and you’ll be happy”. It’s a lie, of course... like everything the Marxist elitists espouse. But it’s a lie they live by. They don’t want anyone... except themselves, of course.... owning their own home, driving gasoline-powered cars, and being financially independent. They want everyone ELSE (the peons, the masses) on foot, unable to afford their own home, and dependent upon “Government”, the leftist god, for every thing. And if they have to provide “happy” drugs to keep those masses compliant, that’s coming, as well.
The left’s whole agenda is purely greed-driven and based on the “more for me, none for you” theme. They want us eating insects and fake meat while they dine on only the finest cuisine, per usual. Why don’t they just cut to the chase and go ahead with their ultimate “Soylent green” goals? We know where they’re going with this. At least, some of us know.

Indeed. Big cities have entire departments employing hundreds if not a thousand people to supposedly address the problem, and the cities receive millions upon millions of dollars in federal aid.
I can tell you from first-hand experience that most of that money (over 50%) is spent on salaries and benefits and another 20%-25% is spent on other things unrelated to homelessness. At the end of the day only 25% - 30% actually goes towards food, housing, etc. for the homeless.
Cities complain about it but will not work to fix it because there is far too much “free” money.
I have been going to Israel, working on excavations and other endeavors since 1980. My first visit to the Jericho Refugee Camp was in 1982, where I met some of the leaders of the UNRWA as well as Palestinians. My last visit was 2014, and the people running the camps are the children of the people I first met. The camp has not changed at all in the nearly 40 years I have observed it, after soaking up hundreds of millions of Euros and Dollars. However, there are huge villas that have been built to the East by about 3 miles, which overlook these man made slums. That is the purpose of the UNRWA - loot those rich Western countries. The principle is the same in our left run cities here in the U.S.
