SAMHSA Stakeholder Feedback

I suggest SAMHSA...

change the way we frame homelessness and teach us to think of it as a stage not a permanent event

there is much talk about a "culture of poverty" that places the blame on the poor. but the blame lies equally with the wealthy who define their wealth by the way that they view the poor. by reframing the way we view poverty, we open ourselves to possibilities: That "the poor" and "the homeless" have skills, make contributions, and add value. Reframing the vision, will allow us also devise solutions that are inclusive of the inner city.
