#MissKittyPolitics What is radical about #human #rights? Do you believe that everybody should have a home no matter what, no matter what? #MissKitty is beyond certain that is the #truth. That is VERY FIRST. I am going to give my projections on the #virtuous #cycle occurring upon end of #homelessnes.

#MissKittyPolitics That is why #MissKitty believes she will be going down all the backroads in #PA and #GA. I know country probably better than city. I am not afraid to listen to them get shit off their chest enough to listen. I know I have a message they can hear. End #Homelessnes. It's our money.

"The NHS #WaitingList was three to four years".

#Autistic people experience higher levels of #Depression and other #MentalHealth conditions, higher levels of #Unemployment and #Underemployment, higher levels of #Homelessnes, and higher levels of #illness

Opinion | San Franciscans awaken to the cruelty — and futility — of homeless sweeps

"Sweeps won’t help the majority of these people. And they certainly won’t end homelessness. All they do is spread misery and brutality."

I've been volunteering long enough to see people who seemingly get things sorted, deal with issues like drugs, alcohol, gambling and get a job and place to live then in a year they're back. It's tough out there especially on your own and if you had an unstable upbringing, maybe even abuse when young it never really goes away. It's humiliating to fail despite giving it your best shot. That in itself can be demoralising. #homelessnes #MentalHealth #Trauma #CostOfLiving

San Francisco supervisors have started to backtrack on housing promises they voted for just a few months ago, hoping California won’t notice the difference.
