    I want to ask a question: why is it our responsibility to house drug addicts with our money? No one helps me when I'm low on funds. These people don't want help; I've seen this my whole life.

      I totally agree with this statement. I literally posted this same exact thing in another post.
      Why is it the state’s responsibility to house these people? At one point in time they were members of society just like everyone else. They choose to starts drugs (yes I get it’s a disease but at first you choose to start it then after that your brains changes and it’s hard to stop but it’s a CHOICE to stop as well) no one held a gun to them and made them homeless no one made them stay out there on the streets. A lot of these people still have families that care about them. I believe yes they should get help with detox and rehab but then after that it’s their responsibility to work at getting their lives back together. Everyone else in this world has to do it, so why don’t they? I’m so sick of this world and how everyone thinks they are owed soemthing. It doesn’t work like that! If you want something you need to work hard at it to get it.

      Some people do want help but have no where to go ...you cant throw folks in rehab then back to the street because its back to them being back on drugs ....its a cycle an this is commin from a ex addict that has 10 years on may 22 ...i didn't get clean until i was afforded the chance of not being on the streets anymore...if i was homeless I definitely go back to using just to get rid of the thought of me sleeping on the streets

    She's absolutely right! Moving people from one block to another isn't solving the problem but they have to start somewhere. Nothing changes over night. It's about time Kensington PA gets clean up. This drug & homeless situation has to be resolved. There's no excuse why in one of the most richest countries in the world people have to live like this! The government needs to start spending the money where it will help people, i.e. affordable housing, drug treatment programs, job training, Mental health, etc.

  • @nicolem331
    @nicolem331 6 місяців тому +2

    This is a great start…but the point in time count in January 2024…the # was 5,500 homeless in Philly & that’s only the #s of those they saw. They keep saying they have beds but where & how many? For those that do go into a hospital based detox/rehab where are they being discharged after? There is no money for transitional housing or shelter beds…it’s like a vicious cycle. I’m happy that the Kensington area is getting the attention that is needed but there needs to be people with lived experience/family members/community members need to be involved in the development of treatment care and ideas for shared housing programs. It won’t happen overnight but to just shuffle people around is not helping the root cause. Our city is in trouble! I understand the quantitative data the city needs for funding but what about the qualitative piece as well. Most of those individuals on the streets were productive members of society before their current situation & people can say oh not me or not my kid, but addiction doesn’t discriminate. Hope Mayor Parker & her leadership team continue to expand upon the the efforts made this morning
