Homeless Shelter Begins Charging Rent
Last week Hawaii announced it is going to end their socialized medicine because it can not afford to fully insure 2000 children (imagine that on a nationwide scale with adults and children). Now, a homeless shelter in Hawaii is charging it’s “clients” $60.00 a month for rent.
Next Step Project in Kakaako says the fee will be the same for families and individuals. They describe the rent as “a steal for anyone that is homeless, especially those with kids.” They say some of the money paid will be used to pay a security deposit on their own place - like a savings account, only not.
Interesting. Can’t wait to read what my readers think.
