In a memorable scene of “Casablanca”, actor Cloud Rains played the role of a corrupt police chief, ordered by the Germans to close a popular nightclub, who is a patron in a disgusting patriotic song.
“But I have no excuse to close it!” Protests.
“A search,” Kurt is the answer.
The rain ordered everyone to leave immediately. When the owner of the nightclub Rick (played by the unforgettable Humphri Bogart) demands to know that “on what basis,” the rain says: “I am surprised, surprised, to know that gambling is going on here!” He then thanks the staff member in a cordial manner who gives him the victory of the night.
In a similar show of resentment created, the officials were filed to file officials in the National Alliance trial On September 11, the Federal Housing and Federal Department of Urban Development in Road Island is demanding to prevent new criteria for its homeless assistance grants.
“Both the process of this new award process and the substance are surprisingly illegal,” claims the lawsuit. “The administration is taking advantage of federal money to carry forward the ideological vision of the President.”
US District Judge Mary McClayroy recently A temporary prevention order While the case proceeds against the use of new criteria of HUD. But this, of course, is anything shocking to direct his administration to direct his administration to the President, but he is the most effective to complete the laws of the country.
National Alliance officials know this to eliminate the homeless. He loudly appreciated ten years ago when HUD made extensive changes in his grant-building norms and rules to avail federal funds to advance President Obama’s ideological vision for “Housing First”.
As described on the organization’s website“Housing First is an approach … quickly and successfully add obstacles to people and families who experience homeless, to be homeless, to admit obstacles for admissions, such as abstinence, treatment or service participation requirements.”
Then, as of now, charitable programs that did not comply with new norms faced loss of public dollars.
A Sacramento-based program that served more than 800 homeless women and children every year Notices of less than six weeks were given that County would cancel its $ 730,000 contractThe leaders of the program faced with a decision: quit funding, or prevent the need to maintain restraint and move towards self -sufficiency. They had known for 30-plus years of serving the local population that their families needed a safe, calm and structured environment to heal and enrich. They knew that if they leave the mission to keep the dollar, everyone would have lost.
That program lost public funding and maintained its soul, but many other programs did not.
The first policies have disastrous consequences of housing Recorded in dataWhich shows a dramatic increase in the number of homeless people on the streets of America. But they also show in personal life.
Like people’s courageous journalism Jonathan Choe And Ginni Burton in the state of Washington suggests that, away from the promise of permanent auxiliary housing in a safe and strong environment, many houses are slightly higher than modern flofouz – disease, disappointment, open illegal drug use, violent crime and death alone.
“Housing First” has built the house of horror, not havans.
Why has the policy such a frightening failure? The answer is found in honest answers to other questions. For example, is the lack of permanent affordable housing deficiency is the correct root cause of the most homeless? Which parts are played by severe mental illness and intoxicating consumption? Was there any unexpected harmful consequences of widespread institutionalization of mental hospitals? What other contributors are the reasons, such as broken families, domestic violence and badly failed schools?
How do you contribute liberal sentences to violent criminals and lack of enforcement for basic public health, safety and border laws? How important is the result of clear and average controlling public dollars spent to address the homeless, and what should they be? Does the real compassion help people to avoid inconvenience, or are it lowered with them? And isn’t it time that we can embrace uncomfortable subjects such as personal responsibility and difficult results that can inspire personal changes?
These are important and relevant interactions. Our answers should be in line with reality if we expect to create effective policies that will solve the crisis of being homeless.
President Trump’s administration is answering those questions and preparing a policy for the match. This is truly a job description.
Unfortunately, instead of attaching the conversation on its ability, the National Alliance to and Homeless is resorting to Lawfare and Hyperbole.
