Greeley needs to deal with homelessness
November 20, 2017
Greeley has noticed a large rise in homeless people, and the city doesn’t seem like they are doing very much about it. At more popular areas around Greeley, there are multiple homeless people at intersections and sleeping on the sidewalk. A few years ago, there were a few homeless people but every day it seems like there are more and more.
Being homeless isn’t always an option by that person. There are thousands of homeless people around the world that are addicted to drugs and alcohol, and put themselves in the situation that they are in. However, there are also a lot of homeless that are in that situation because they lost their job, they have a disability, they were in the military, etc. The idea of helping homeless is very hard because of that. You don’t know if they are going to go buy alcohol or go buy food to live.
Cities around the nation are starting to build shelters and places for these people to stay and get off the streets. For Greeley to be able to do this, some form of money would have to be raised by either taxes or donations, which makes people not want to do it either, but this is something that the city of Greeley needs to look into.

I have lived in denver all my life i got married moved to greeley for 24 years. Well i am now homeless sleeping in my car with 2 of my grandkids. It seams like its harder here to get help then in denver.i have been on the streets for a month and half.
We have filled out a app for transitional house and its been 2 weeks.and then when a homeless shealter says we have to make 1000 a month whats the point?! If i had that id have a place i dont get it
.is there any where we can sleep winters comming? Why no hotel vouchers?

For one greeley has enough money from the court system to make more shelters for homeless and people w himo need help with seeking there own home getting started a place for themselves like Grant’s for first months rent and deposit stuff like that can help the homeless from living on the streets. A lot of people dont even know what it’s like to be homeless so the ones who have money need to have some empathy cuz money isnt everything and when God come all the stuff we got will be left behind even your money so think about that all the selfish people out there.
