For once, I agree with both the Mayor and Amy Demboski.  Including some folks in our Municipal Jail, some homeless population suffer from mental disease.  There is a good chance that they have never had a job.  They could possibly not even understand what that is.  There are all types and sorts of disease.  The humane thing to do is to help folks with what they need help with.  Then work towards goals, job, and ultimately functioning in our society the way that would benefit them.
