      What is your brother's name? I know a guy that's in the Sandy Springs area that's homeless and it breaks my heart to see him every morning on my way to work. He appears to have some mental issues as well. I wish someone would help him.

      Nowadays street homeless are fentanyl addicts, and they are not capable of doing anything no matter how simple it is nor living in housing. They would destroy it in no time. Where I live, street homeless break into unoccupied houses and destroy them by pulling wall wires out and cutting metal pipes just to sell for fentanyl. Fentanyl addiction is extreme in every possible way, and destroys humans mentally and physically beyond the point of repair. many will die from fentanyl overdose, poor health, or drugs related violence. Fentanyl addicts gradually destroy everything around themselves. The only thing they really wanna is to be as close as possible to their fentanyl suppliers.

    It seems the general public and several social workers focus on just a handful of the homeless that have mental health issues or just one drug addict and stereotype all homeless people as being mentally handicapped or drug addicts. There is rarely a focus on the middle class employed group who are currently living in mobile homes and moving in with relatives because rent has doubled and tripled beyond what most people are use to paying. So most community health resources are useless because they intentionally focus of the wrong cause.

    She said a lot of adult black men are homeless. I think about our government welfare system that pays for women with children and the rule is the man can't be in the home for them to get help. After many years this is what it comes to, I would like to see marriages where they work on their problems and not divorce. Where young people could get welfare help with being married. This is just sad. Somewhere down the line the value of life has been lost.

      I would like to see black men become the type of men who are husband and marriage material. Many lag in education, have unresolved mommy issues, lack self-esteem, anger issues, and refuse the therapy that could help them. They’d rather be baby daddies than actually commit to marriage, at least to black women. It is a shame.
