Obama phones. Around these parts many of the homeless use the cheap androids they're given to keep in touch with their shrink b/c there's no work but if you play it right you can get a gubmint check, and maybe even rigidly controlled subsidized housing... If you're 'endangered'. Another contingent uses them to play video games and keep in touch with their drug connections. Regarding shelter. The ONLY solution municipalities ever come up with are federally funded solutions,. You'd be hard pressed to find any city in the US that spends more than a minuscule amount of their own budget on the homeless in the way of job development or targeting housing for their own low-income working people. What typically ends up happening is all the working homeless leave, and the behavioral health 'problem children' and addicts (incl alcohol) remain. Which allows cities to Perception Manage the gentry some more about dirty, filthy, feces homeless people, even as they provide housing for them on the federal government's tab. My city officials claim it's not their job to develop jobs... even as they created a booming industry for police hiring, security guards, and CCTV surveillance cam operators.
