Get the homeless homes. Make jobs to get them homes. Make a miracle in America..JOBS JOBS JOBS..
Clean up America..instead of giving people money for Drugs and especially beer, and cigarettes. Homeless will never see the money, but at least put in housing.
Now the homeless need that stimulus more than anybodyðŸâ€â€Ã‚£Ã°Å¸â€™Â¯
Stimulus check to homeless = DOA-Drug Overdose?
Crying felling like I need to help 😢 peep this is awful 😢 💆today I will donate food n clothing
No not the homeless the elderly and disabled right at home can’t get one either SMH
Use a prepaid green dot or Netspend
I am a single stay-at-home mom of a severely developmentally delayed autistic child and have not received a penny for him from any of the three stimulus checks. And having one hell of a time trying to figure out how to get my son his money
Yes yes yes to all of those helped those people.
Yes I wonder about that.it is a hood thing that the most people who need it can get it.
They should get it soon
The homeless should claim for asylum status, it will be the only way these unfortunate Americans will be part of that $89 million from Biden Liberals.
Our country rather give checks to child molesters, killers , robbers in prison and. help people cross the border.
Glad there are nice people to help our homeless.
They’re causing Americans to gain “depression, loneliness, poverty, selfishness, crime†sad but true… y’all are making this a non friendly place to live because your bracketing people based on wealth and not showing support for your people and only for war and this damn vaccine… show passion you old rotten trash. karma is one big bitch 🙂
You have lots homeless people living on the streets ,but Joe Biden administration, allowing illegal immigrants children into America, and spending millions of dollars that can help homeless families with housing what joke this administration is.
Real life crying. Thank you God thank you!!!
This is sad.
I work in mental health care with homeless people and this is actually a HUGE problem. Most of them qualify for the payment, but have no way of accessing it. $1400 won't completely change their lives, but it'll pay for food and a bus pass, medications, a much-needed visit to the doctor, a new tent and blanket, a week at a hotel, some new shoes, etc. Just basic things that most of us take for granted and don't even think about. But many of them don't have IDs, don't have transportation, don't have bank accounts, and even having a centralized location where it could all be taken care of wouldn't work because they don't know how to get there. I've met so many people who think nothing of walking between locations that are an hour-long drive on the interstate for me, but if you don't have a phone with GPS (since maps basically don't exist anymore), you can't get there. So these outreach workers are saints. What wonderful, incredible people. I wish they could connect so that every city in every state could implement a program like what they're doing.
God bless those people for helping ! Thank You.
The government could have set up a easier system for the homeless to get the stimulus. They need it the most. I feel that President Biden doesn’t cover all the bases when it comes to anything. Why can’t we get a young sharp President.
We can take care of the world but we can't save 580,000 Americans? That's not really that many people considering what all this country does for the rest of the world.
I didn't get any of this money and now I'm live in my car for 3 weeks.dont have address .I cant get my w2 because that room I lived owner change the lock .its in the room.all my stuff in there. Plz some one tell me what i can do for this situation.
Just like Disney, billions of dollars dropped into Wells Fargo Bank over the last week. Veterans and people with disability benefits may still wait weeks. Please don't pretend to care ABC.
Stimulus is a scam along with covid
This political disease and the real id act might make impoverished people enemies of the state. I read somewhere that I was eligible for a stimulus check, but so far zippo. My direct express card is back on the tangent that they won't know anything for at least a couple more weeks. This is twice I've heard this message in the last few weeks. So I can infer that somebody will be able to steal my check, with no consequences. Profits overrule humanity every time. Profits bless america, or something like that.
How the hell are there homeless in the US? Aren't we the wealthiest country on earth??
As rich as some americans are, there should not be any homeless people
My greedy landlord just made sure I joined the homeless here in Texas. He admitted in court the reason he wanted me out was he wanted to raise the rent several hundred dollars. This guy claims to be a good christian. He has 9 rent properties and he has forced all his low income tenants out so he can jack the rent. He claims the properties are worth the added money, when he has deferred maintance on all of them for the past 14 yrs. I am not a happy camper right now with nowhere to go and less then $30 until my next Social Security check arrives, which happens to be after the date I am supposed to be out of here.
I'm still waiting for the 600 dollars I filed my taxes and it's being delayed
Honestly thousands of Americans received the $1,400 stimulus check that really don’t need the money. You know who you are, I suggest choosing a local charity group and share that money…
They can 't even get checks to people that have a bank account!!!, how are they getting checks to the homeless?, bullSh*t!!@
MATTIE Smith I don't get my money 🤑 yet
Thank goodness lyin'joe is taking good care of the foreign nationals pouring across our southern borders. I guess under this administration, American citizens are taken care bn of after all the immigrants are clothed, fed, housed & given money.
Thanks for caring for people.
Thanks for caring for people.
And the veterans and the elderly duh we fought for this nation!!!!
Amen ðŸ™ÂÂðŸÂ¼
