1. South Bend services are insufficient.<\/p>\n
David previously lived in Salt Lake City and experienced the Housing First model. He feels there need to be more accessible services similar to this. He does not like that there are so many barriers to entering the shelter programs. He also dislikes that the weather amnesty shelter is temporary, and it is only accessible from 8pm to 8am.<\/p>\n
2.\u00a0The drive for improvement<\/p>\n
David showed a passion for improving the homeless community. He dreamed of creating a 24-hour shelter\/center for the homeless that would choose to help, rather than turn away, people with issues like substance abuse. \u00a0He was determined to talk to local politicians, churches, and university resources about his idea.<\/p>\n
3.\u00a0Optimism for the future<\/p>\n
David felt confident in himself that he would be able to find a job and housing soon and start implementing his ideas for improvement.<\/p>\n
\u201cHaving a place where people could stay 24 hours would be more sufficient than spending money on these seasonal programs because we could get to deal with people and we could get to place people.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBy people jumping around like popcorn, they\u2019re never going to get the help they need. They\u2019re never going to be in the facility long enough to figure out what their problem is.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re gonna have to let the drug addicts in if you want to help them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
