Creative problem solving can improve the homeless situation. This is what I do. I donate my time and efforts. I want the homeless problem improved to the degree that the police can take care of the trouble makers. Many of our homeless population want help but cannot get it for a variety of reasons. People are always surprised and grateful when I say “I will help you”. They usually cry, even the men, and ask if they can give me a hug. I get more calls every day than I can handle.

I and a few committed people are working every day to get and keep the homeless off the streets. Here is what we are able to help them obtain:
*Bus tickets
*Emergency motels when the shelter is not an option
*Emergency meals
*Rehab for drug addiction
*Motel prior to rehab intake
*Mental health facilities
*Sober Living
*Longer term living
*Identification
*Appropriate assistance to become self sufficient
*Follow up to make sure they stay off the streets
