Citizens of America: Discharge No One Into Homelessness

Closing institutions was the cruelest act against the mentally ill that could have been done. It's served a Republican president well in the 1980s as well as the uninformed liberals who saw the movie One Flew Over the Cuckoo's nest. The true remedy would have been to improve institutions, not abandon the vulnerable to the streets cuz if they would responsibly use services.

Let create Local, State, and National strategies to ensure all Americans have a home, help them join the Military and Peace Corps.

I support this petition completely.

I like the idea that you all are pushing to make sure that homelessness is reduced to everyone being stable. Bless you all.

Nobody should go hungry or be cold, nobody.

No one should be homeless not now not ever!

I've seen homeless drunks and attics find shelter at night while a homeless pregnant mother of a 1 year old sleep under a bridge in Austin Texas. It's been 3 months for her because every shelter is full. Something is not balancing out here the wages are not matching the cost of living. Causing an amazing population in homelessness. Not enough shelters either. For most help never comes so crime rates increase...I don't understand but one day I myself will be able to do something about.

some of the nicest people go homeless!

It can happen to anyone. If you're suddenly laid off, if you or your spouse becomes too ill to work it could happen and through no fault of your own. When you see the homeless don't be so quick to judge. "If not for the grace of God, there go I."

Everyone deserves a safe place to call home.

America cannot afford to have homelessness.

**Any of us could find ourselves in dire straits -- it doesn't always happen to others.**

House the homeless

I am homeless and need help badly!!

My mother was discharged into homelessness. No one should have to go through that.

It's a disgrace, the way our country treats vets returning home from war. Shame on you, and you, and you, and you, and you and of course, shame on me, for not doing more to help the homeless. God bless.

I was homeless for a month and God provided what I needed. Now I'm helping a friend who is recently homeless -- it is hard to find any type of housing with the "proper" paperwork.

totally agree!! make NO sense to discharge individuals into homelessness! its cruel and uncaring.

I have experienced homelessness and know how it feels to finally get a place to call home. I feel like everyone should have that security

I am homeless. And I am a full time employee.
