Most homeless services here follow the "beggars can't be choosers" egotism of not attending to people's actual needs but rather looking down their noses on them, treating homeless people like criminals or make them jump through hoops like show animals.

For example, most of the doctor specialist services here have a "full" waiting list just to schedule an appointment and force people to call at a certain time in the morning for a few spots on said list, like animals jockeying to win the lottery.

Oh and the amount of food and cash aid is abysmal, not enough to feed or clothe anyone.

Most services demand either employment or only apply to certain groups, leaving many people to fall between the cracks.

The "social workers" are arrogant, obnoxious bureaucrats who don't listen to their clients but instead hold their aid over their heads and order them around without offering any solutions, strategies, resources or actual help... just judgement and control.

And it takes years to get disability status reviewed and longer to get housing. There are at least 1500 people living rough and 500 people living in vehicles in the area.
