Religion can be an amazing thing, but it’s ultimately one path of many to what I believe is the answer to homelessness: stability. The true key is to provide stability for unstable people while helping them to find their center. This may sound New Age, socialist, and soft, but trying to force people through a predetermined path doesn’t work for everybody. The ones it doesn’t work for just keep lining the curbside. We can try, fail, and learn, or we can keep ignoring people while hoping religion will “save” them.
