Trying to understand how the system works

A lot of assistance programs simply aren't available to convicted felons, and many require a drug test. Either of those could be the reason for their plight, and then there's not much you'll be able to do.

Another reason... maybe they like it that way. It's a small percentage, but some people choose the lifestyle for the freedom it gives them.

If he's as intelligent as you say then there's no reason why he wouldn't be able to get a job if he wants one... unless he can't pass the background check and drug test.

Thank you all for your kindness. I have helped homeless before, I don't believe this is the same . I found two of these people by accident hiring this man's business ., all monies go direct to him. I will search out some of your wonderful ideas, thank you kindly.

Try the Episcopal Church in Wilkesboro. They may have information. Also try talking to HUD in Wilkesboro at the old Wilkesboro School building for help with housing. Keep trying. We can not allow for people to live like that in our Wilkes County. Thank You for caring .

Illegals have been ripped off for decades it has nothing to do with federal or state administrations. It's all about unscrupulous avaricious employers and the local authorities that turn a blind eye while holding out a greedy hand.

I know it was silly what i said but the MAGA's believe this in a nut shell.

We see that Harris has done nothing to solve any problems. In fact, we have more issues with illegals with her and Biden. In fact, some Hispanics live in these type situations. I recall hearing about a man here with a company that sold an employee a truck, and his employee would be indebted to the employer for years for an old rundown truck. The Hispanic would never get it paid off. But this is exactly what the democrat want. They need workers. They need landscaping people for their homes, and housekeepers, and really just need slaves that get paid a little money.

Not every homeless person has a problem with drugs. Many have mental illness issues. Some just have bad luck.

Their homeless, report it and hope for the best. Sounds like you know them personally. How did you get to know these 3? Why use a can I'd go to the woods or whatever. The contents of the can will end up in the woods anyway.

I am just one person trying to figure out how the system works. I know of 3 people here in Wilkes county that desperately need help. I don't know the total reason why they have to feel that they are living like they are. Living conditions are beyond legal. Two live in a camper with no running water , it has been gutted out , the door has no knob or lock, no place to sleep but on the floor with pieces of cut up sponge , not even a toilet ! That would be using a can for waste ! The person who has them living like this is working them 7 days a week with very little money as payment. His idea of payment is he gives them a place to sleep. They do go to the food banks for food. I have considered letting the health dept. know what is going on, but then they would have no place to sleep. Now these people are not dumb, one is very talented in electronics- he can fix anything ! I don't know if there was drugs that got them where they are now, but I believe they are not on drugs now. No cars to get them around, to me they are getting treated like slavery . I need some answers how they can be helped, thanks for listening.
