Not every homeless person is a drug addict or mentally unstable but it seems the homeless individuals that are “refusing” help are quite easy to find. We have been blinded by homeless advocates for years… speaking for the homeless and their needs, instead of hearing the actual voices of the homeless people.
Please watch this video. While it is based on interviews with Seattle homeless individuals, the story blends with Burien’s homeless challenges. It is very important for everyone to see.
The homeless industry is very alive, and support “groups” are making money off of it. Yes, businesses, non-profit organizations etc, etc… are making huge profits off the homeless.
I hope that many more journalists and concerned people will take their own time to research and find the real truths behind homelessness.
Thank you,
Dan Sims

This is exactly what we have been thinking and saying forever… homelessness will never go away because it is too much of a big money maker for some!
