It also costs a lot more to take care of a special needs child. They receive that for the costs of special food, daycare, or whatever it is they need it for. I can't believe people are ok with people being homeless just living on the street of our city. Not everyone who is homeless is an addict or alcoholic!!! Some people fall on hard times or leave an abusive relationship with no help from anyone. We should be supporting getting these people off the streets into housing or group housing possibly. I do understand people think it isn't fair that they work and pay there rent but some people do not have the ability to count past there fingers. It is sad but true. I wish people in our city would be more caring and stop making this a political thing.
