(24,486 posts)but they have rules such as passing a drug test as well as staying inside once you are there for the evening since it's not a motel. But a motel is what some of the homeless want so they'd rather be out on the streets.
But when my city paid to have the homeless be able to stay in a motel last year, they came from hundreds of miles away to be here. Meanwhile long time city residents would struggle just to pay their rent.
Ultimately, a minority percentage of the homeless spoils it for the majority who truly need help and do what they can to do the right thing and cause no problems. They were the ones who stayed at the motel here last winter and were scared to death because there was sex and drug trafficking going on. The motel had to close for weeks after the homeless left last year to repair the damage which is why they didn't want to have anything to do with it this winter even though it would provide them with a lot of income when they are mostly empty in the winter otherwise.
