Opening private homes isn’t the answer, anyway, despite what randos on the Internet would have you believe. Having large spaces for congregate care provided by people who know what they’re doing is important. Individuals can help best by donating what the shelters need, be that food, clothing, money, time, etc.

Do you literally get on here to go against everything anyone posts? Every post you make is about what someone shouldn’t do. How about you just be thankful there are people who care even a little bit and even have that thought. You can educate without being condescending, which is how you literally always come across.

Wow. Nice ad hominem attack. As it so happens I’ve worked in homelessness outreach for many years. I know a bit about what works and what doesn’t and I try to share that and point people in the right direction. If you don’t like it, feel free to scroll on by. But attacking someone from a position of anonymity is shitty. Also, really? You created an account just to attack me personally? You have problems.

At least I’m trying to spread the word, I guess.

Yes!! That’s extremely important. Thank you for doing it!! I’m so sorry if I made you feel like that wasn’t enough.

Sorry, that was not meant to come across as asking for validity, but totally did. I just meant I wish I could do more.

ETA: the word not

I think most of us wish that. But we do what we can and it adds up. It all matters.
