An alternative perspective

Just scoping out other bloggers who write about homelessness and came across http://guide2homelessness.blogspot.com/

It is the first I have read up on that advocates being homeless as choice, almost a right - not usually the perspective you think of when it comes to homelessness.

I found the article 'Solving Homelessness' of particular interest. A small quote from the blog reads 'As a homeless person, I do not want someone to feed me. I do not want someone to house me. I do not want a blanket, and I will not work for food! You have to ask me what it is I need if you want to have an effect'.

This raises the question about what will really solve homelessness, that not every homeless person is a charity case. Just like people with a home, people without homes should not be placed into one basket, each person has different needs and purpose.
