      You can survive easy out here if you can stay sober enough to make a few phone calls and show up to appointments. Most of the homeless crisis is really just a drug crisis.

        Yes. I get free healthcare, and I qualify for free food and low income housing. Many of my friends have been homeless and they have had an easy time finding a shelter.
