The hotel program definitely is being taken advantage of. I work with one guy who lives at a hotel in the Portland area and has told me he’s saved up thousands and thousands of dollars while working 40 hours a week. He has no bills other than a cell phone. No car nada. He complains that rent is too high in the Portland area and declared homeless hence free housing. Said person is sane and no mental issues. Just another freeloader taken advantage of the program. Mind you these hotels don’t take in felons so he has no excuse on finding an apartment. Meanwhile I work, have bills, kids and a car and pay my own way. This program has too many leaks and holes for people to take advantage of and the taxpayers foot the bill.
