The app for independent voices

We have been screaming into the void for quite a time now. So many seniors who worked their entire lives and for the first time ever are now homeless. Fragile and medically fragile persons being discharged from the hospitals to the streets. In Cambridge we have Brodgecare which takes these folks into our specialized shelter, but it's a very small number of people. The fastest growing demographic of the homeless are seniors. We need to shift how we look at homelessness, because right now everyone is screaming about non taxpayers (how ridiculous) drug addicted, mental health cases, but that's the tip of the iceberg, there is a huge population under the waterline that they are not acknowledging, particularly wome and seniors. I also want to put out there, that if you are homeless long enough, your mental health will 💯 be affected, and it's a slippery slope after that...
