Thanks for your response, Curtis.  

The state and city are not willing to make the changes for affordable permanent housing; e.g., rent control,  Everything...is always transitioning...and where we are at today is related to over 30 years of policies that favor the rich.

I understand your point of getting people off the street so they are not fined...but that does not excuse the city and state for not providing permanency, and allowing OVERdevelopers to pay into a fund that does not lead to available and affordable housing.

The state and city are blind to real solutions...as this situation has been in the making for the past 25 years.

Please understand, Curtis this is not a criticism of workers who are doing their best to work with a challenged population.  Policies and politics only add to people living on the edge and requiring "transition".

When it comes to laundry...I do know that children are teased & it is hard to get/keep a job when clothes are not clean,
