Where's the data on the demographics and whether or not these are families or individuals? Pretty sure the last census showed it was primarily young males that were identified. I imagine that is what the demographics would show here. I am all for helping hard working people and families make ends meet and find housing, but that isn't what's happening. We just give EBT cards, free food, free clothes, and free services to people who don't intend to change their situation and are perfectly happy living outside the bounds of normal society. I guess there will be another tax hike soon so that we can increase the number around here. Great job.
