Reply to comment by unidumper in why is our government so ignorant in Rhode Island? just because the weather is warm during the summer does not mean that the homeless go away. why do they wait until the cold weather to go and fix the problem? they never gets fixed?! we obviously need more shelters unless bike path. by [deleted]

Right. It is so stupid to wait until the problem is "there"to fix it. We have all summer to help the homeless and yet we come across the same problem every winter, they do not have anywhere to go in winter.

. I read that Crossroads just opened up a new building and it's getting ready to revamp the old building into apartments. It just breaks my heart especially when it's a family.

I also feel we need a new version of a nursing home for the chronically homeless who cannot take care of themselves. But at last! That would make way too much sense.

Or better yet. Why not add shelter rooms in public spaces such as libraries, mental health facilities, churches and so on. I'm not talking about just cots and warm blankets. I mean actual rooms.

That's all there is to it I'm going to run for the government in Rhode Island! LOL scratch that

What I ment was there is no desire to fix it . Summer fall or winter. Besides its more complex than just a room to live in. Most homeless have drug /mental issues . Some are homeless by choice. They don't want a place or responsibility required for it.
