creating campuses where people can get help in their transition out of homelessness by supplying housing, mental health services and job training.
The construction site of the Stout Street Recuperative Care Facility and Renaissance Legacy Lofts, which will be for people experiencing homelessness, in Denver on March 5, 2021.While homelessness across the U.S., according to government data, experts like Tars note the numbers were likely undercounted due to delays and other impacts of the pandemic. A disproportionate amount of people experiencing homelessness are people of color.
They need help and resources. Not felonies.
A felony for maybe trespassing.?
allender_ann Such a contrast. Colorado 👏👏👏♥️
deray Wow. Which is the pro-life state? 👀
So if the homeless are arrested in TN for sleeping in parks, they’ll be moved to privately owned prisons so that rich Republicans will make more money, am I right?
God. That Is SO Republican Of Them! 😤 Give The Homeless Felonies Whale Us Tax Payers Pay For Their Housing And Hey! These Republicans Don't Care. Because They Don't Even Pay Any Taxes!🤗
Tough sanctions is the only way to force the homeless to get the treatment they need and start to build a life.
They would rather be in jail 3 meals, a bed, tv, shelter.
Because once your born, the GOP doesn’t give a shit about you unless you enlist, or can be put into the prison industrial complex to get kickbacks off of.
Don't y'all know y'all will be helping out a lot of homeless people that been on the street for 30 and 40 years so they will be glad to go to prison so they can get something to eat and take a nice shower and a good sleep and get physical care
That's America for you homeless and they will give you a felony charged for being homeless I swear this country will charge you for the air you breathe if they could
The ACLU will whip Tennessee's ass in court on this one. These laws are just posing by the posers. They're a waste of time but most state legislators in the south are inbred--they're all cousins and not by marriage. TN law-if you get divorced are you still brother and sister?
Guvnuh Lee uv Tennussee
Tennessee has too many 1st cousins with the same grandparents on both sides, making $7.25/ hr.
Rep Ryan Williams TN
Senator Paul Bailey TN . Result of inbreeding.
DianaPOMoon Don’t get the wrong idea. Denver still conducts expensive and counterproductive homeless sweeps on a regular basis.
Felony? Tennessee must need some unpaid labor for something. What happened to conservative Christian values in America?
It is not a crime to be homeless. Soon to be a court case in the Sixth Circuit.
Tennessee law representing them corporate prisons
Homeless camps are crime ridden, filthy, drug infested, pest holes. They are cleaned by people in hazmat suits. People just can't pitch a tent anywhere they want.
That’s exactly what needs to be done criminalize homelessness
So Tennessee wants homeless to camp out in peoples yards and private property? This won’t go wrong… 🙄
y que les van a hacer, les darán ticket? no hay para pagar, los van a encarcelar? nosotros vamos a pagar por ello. que PUTAS van a hacer, PENDEJOS...
TN is a pretty backward state. Always has been. If it weren’t for Nashville, TN wouldn’t be worth visiting. They will NEVER do the right thing for their citizens
Wow. That’s so… … … Christian of Tennessee. Coloradans, on the other hand, will surely go to Hades for helping fellow human beings transition into normal lives.
So now it’s illegal to be homeless in Tennessee? The prisons are gonna be overcrowded if they actually enforce this and arrest every homeless person. Tennessee you should be ashamed!
Just a question, do the same communities where being homeless is a felony have privatized prisons?
I mean it's Tennessee, pro-self. Don't care about life unless it's an unborn cell.
Did you forget Tennessee is in the they careless about homeless vets they want to put them in the back of a truck and drop them of in Georgia or Mississippi. Colorado wants to fine homes and treatment, job training give them some help not through them in the toilet like tenn.
Why give a helping hand to another citizen who is in the midst of probably the worst time in their life? After all, this is not a socialist country.
It’s a nice idea but these drug addicted vagrants aren’t transitioning into anything except the pawn shop after they steal your stuff.
Republicans have made Tennessee a mean-spirited State full of odds and ends that make no sense: buy a gun and leave with it; banning books; mistreating homeless, ranked poorly in health care and education. Football most important thing on campus; extremely conservative; racist.
2 different types of people in this world, no doubt.
I thought that the Supreme Court ruled against this.
I mean the Biden administration is doing a good job of killing the middle class with their policies and intentions. Keep up the good work. Ppl making 80-90 k a year soon will have trouble paying rent gas and food.
I get the need to combat homelessness. But how does making it a felony to be poor fix anything? All it’s going to do is fill more prisons with people guilty of the “crime” of being homeless.
And the governing party in Tennessee tells the governing party in Colorado that their lack of Christian values is what’s destroying this country. How is the right so blind to their blatant hypocrisy? Serious question.
Colorado - democrat state vs. Tennessee - republican state. Way to go Colorado.
Hey ------------Good idea get homeless people OUT OF ( The State ). Someone else's problem ! Send em elsewhere !
A felony. So, fill up the prisons with poor people.
A felony?! 😳 TN gonna love the costs of housing homeless in jails adding on to any overcrowding problems. 🤦🏼♂️ America, the land of the free as long as you can afford it.
The difference between humanity and Hate.
Sure they are. Can’t wait to see the Colorado Shit Holes they create.
Red State solving homelessness vs Blue State solving homelessness.
Why are republicans always kicking people when they are down.
getgiddygirl This is a felony, but Insurrectionist at the Capitol on January 6 get misdemeanors? What's wrong with this pic?
What incentives will Colorado social workers have to actually help people out of homelessness instead of keeping the cycle going? Ideally anyone in charge should be working to rid the need of their job in the near future. Which we know government workers won’t do.
Homeless people chose this…
Awesome Tennessee! You will have way more success than Colorado! 👍🏻
I bet CO’s program is not only more humane, it’s likely more economical too. It costs a fortune to imprison people. Imprisoning people for being poor seems like a very dumb & heartless idea.
FELONY for vagrancy and not for incest?
Just how Jesus would want it. Way to go Tennessee. 👏🏼
