$40k is out of the Medicaid/subsidized range for a single person, and most of the homeless people aren’t families. I think the job thing is more “unable to” — someone who’s been sleeping rough for a year or more doesn’t interview well. Connect them to services that will allow them to clean up, have a safe indoor place to shower, and become employable.
Again – how should this be FIXED other than warehousing people in jail, which isn’t a long-term solution?
