Pathways to housing is an organization that gives homes those without , with no strings attached. This means the occupant does not have to be clean from drugs, mentally stable, or employed.
Honestly I think this is a great program; some may disagree due to the fact that we are giving people who are obviously not structurally sound a place to go an revert to the degrading habits that put them into this situation in the first place. I think giving these people a home is the best thing for them because with the responsibility they gain it motivates them to further themselves for the better.
In the case we took a look at a homeless man by the name Footie' was a occupant to this program; he was a strung out alcoholic who was very seizure prone. After he was given a home he fault not only obligated but pressured into staying sober because he did not want to be judged as a disappointment to the people trying to get him on the right path.
If we can get every problematic homeless person in a program like this , not only will we cut down the homeless problem but also we will reduce the amount of substance abuse across the nation.
