Homeless Problem

Holy crap batman !!.....we have a serious homeless and mental illness systemic problem in my town.

Dear god, 25% of the patient I see everyday at the facility I work at are homeless and mentally ill that are "Working the System". They claim to have phantom chest pain and they are wisked away immediately, given primo attention, tested, clothed, given warm blankets, valuables secured in a safe and sleep on a warm bed.

It is the closest thing to a 3-star hotel that a homeless person is gunna get. It is breaking the bank for the place I work at needlessly and we are getting work over by their deguiling stories. We are seeing the same people week-in-week-out, with the same phantom symptoms repeatedly, especially on cold, blustery nights when all they really want is a warm, secure place to sleep.

I did a bit of research in general on homelessness and their real needs:
