Wonder if this 'problem' can help alleviate the homeless problem a little

[P F Tinmore]

A typical "service job" pays about $1200/month.

How much is an apartment?

Why not have a program where you take able bodied homeless people and give them a makeover with haircuts and new clothes and take them around to all these businesses, primarily the services industry, that are supposedly hurting for people and get them a job...'Nobody wants to work anymore': How a simple phrase became the oversimplified scapegoat for every problem plaguing the American labor market

Because most of the time the homeless have chemical dependency issues on top of mental health issues.
They are unemployable.
