OhDear. I am also working in the Human Service profession,
and I do paralegal work for a law firm that runs a Service
agency for the Homeless here in Detroit.
I also hold two degrees in the Human Service and the Human
Rights professional field.

Here in Detroit most homeless cases isn't because the client
choosen to be homeless, but since our former Govenor closed
down all the mental health hosptials the mentally does not
have a place to go, and many become clients here at the 24
hour walk-in center.

However, Here in Detroit for the Superbowl, and the World
series. The City tryed to violate the homeless people's who
lived in the streets rights by locking them up in jail to prevent
them from panhandling and begging, and I was one that was
on the battlefield to help the homeless by protecting their
rights.

This went on for a whole week (both events), but the protest
was so greatly supported by many different Community groups
and organizations until the City received a court order telling
them don't do that again.

Homeless is caused by un-employement, people losing their
homes (foreclosers), and a number of other unwanted crisis.
Since you created the subject matter. What did YOU do to
help the situation?

In closing, I am not the kind of person who will sign on to a
thread, and post anything to make myself look impressive.
Any thread that I submit a post on one can bet that I do
have experience, and can talki about anything under the sun.
The media is always good at twisting news around without
giving the true facts about a situation.
