Homeless Services Policy
It is recognized that there is no single cause for homelessness but it is precipitated by a number of factors, such as: unemployment/underemployment; personal and family difficulties; alcoholism; drug abuse; family abuse; the lack of affordable housing; inappropriate behavior; mental disorders; or a combination of these or other factors. It is also recognized that a person is accountable for his/her inappropriate behavior and this policy is not intended to mandate benefits to those who are homeless as a result of their unwillingness to change such behavior.
