    Im a lady who has traveled many places and done many things. Im done raising my children, ive graduated from colledge and useing my skills daily. Im fully self employed and have been for years, and my new husband is a seosonal fisherman.we both volenteer about 25 hours per day helping a community become a small eco friendly village building homes and lives as we go.

    Until the first general economic collapse the rise in numbers of homeless directly followed the increase in PUBLIC funds dedicated to supporting this subset of the population. The collapse has increased the numbers of homeless, but the underlying pathologies, mental illness, addictions, laziness and antisocial behaviors have not changed. The misprescription of services to help alleviate the problem has not changed either. A new direction is required. It is not a source of community pride to subsidize in miserable conditions any subset of its population.
