That's the problem with generalizing the United States. Every state has a different approach to the problem.

And it fucking shouldnt be the case. Ensuring basic humanity and human dignity should be a key matter of the federal government and not delegated to the whimps of states opinions on waht constitutes human rights.

If we set a national policy today and didn't allow local governments to set their own policies, I'm pretty sure we'd have a national policy of no help for the homeless at all. Be happy the places that do have support are allowed to because of states' rights.

Well, shelter is not a human right that our government recognizes.
