There's a portion of our homeless population who are there because of how difficult it is to fit in if you are an ex-convict. It's harder to get a job, and its harder to get accepted for housing.
So, you end up on the streets.
If we want our ex-cons to reform, we need to provide them with the chance of succeeding -- succeeding in getting jobs, and succeeding in getting housing. Without these two things, they often go one of two directions. They either end up homeless, or they end up resorting to crime to make ends meet.
We are fools for not seeing them into jobs and housing.
