  • @sleepingbagpiper I work in the shelter and was homeless years ago cause I lost my job.u r right there are in fact substance abusers and mental people.But what I saw that a lot of homeless people use the system for example there was 200 women was living in emergency shelter doing nothing until one day women was ask to stay and register in new system to place them in Housing program only about 68 women stay what i notice homeless people who put down homeless system end up using the system

  • Why ugly people have to be rich and good looking people have to be in shelter?

    I will not be in a shelter Im too good looking :-)

  • damn!.... bedbugs should be illegal, nyc should send exterminaters to the shelter, I mean common people get infections from these insencts, does somebody give a fuck?

  • @BlackMask2012 I work in the shelter system . Yes alot of people in the homeless shelters are in fact substance abusers or have mental issues. Very few cases of folks who are down on their luck live in the shelter system in the U.S.

  • @BlackMask2012 there are no jobs that are available. none of these people are not saying that they don't want a job!

  • Being poor and/or homeless sucks. Nothing against those in the video.

  • Wow they are young and healthy.

    Don't know if it's true but I saw a video that said 81% of homeless in the UK were addicted to drugs or alcohol.

    I wonder if it's the same in America? I wonder why these 3 won't get a job I mean if an illegal alien could get a job why not them?

  • I pray your not gonna be there everyday..every night until the day you die!!! We all deserve more. We deserve health care and shelter. Food for our children!!! A society that can not provide to those who are in need is a F*cked UP society!!!

  • Sticking to the facts.

  • wow.  :-(
