They don’t have Democrats holding out welcome signs. In short, the pickins are lousy.

Visit Kingsburg, recently we took a drive over to Reedley by the river and then throughout Kingsburg. Saw only one person who looked homeless. What are they doing right?

I just want to know how to get involved with this group and help. I will start by contacting a member.

I hope Tulare can follow your lead.
Sometimes a fresh mind and a non-political background can come up with ideas.
With regards to Tom Bales comment, if the homeless had any solutions, they could have attended a meeting and/or used their ideas to get themselves off the street. That’s all I have to say about that.
As I have found in the last week, there are resources but most do not want to adhere to rules.
Call 211, that’s a start. Ask on Facebook about jobs. I have suggested to some if you are clean, get into a shelter. There are places you can get clothing from for interviews. People can help with resumes. After you get a few bucks, go rent yourselves a place, a room or a a studio. Apply for aid until you can sustain life without aid. Attend AA meetings or get a counselor if you feel at risk. I want everyone to succeed and enjoy the life God gave them!
BUT, panhandling for a dollar is much easier and faster than working for one to the majority.
I pray that your program Visalia will be an example for other cities!
My very best of luck to you all!!

Are there any poor and/or homeless people in this group?
