this is a rant just a warning

Im a case manager that helps homeless vets get long term housing and there’s something called permanent supportive housing. they want me document to show there was no gaps in their time being homeless (its a 1 year minimum) or to show 4 times (lapses) becoming homeless. its documented by having providers give them services (documented on a homeless data base) or have an observation of their living situation that got noted etc.

fucking bullshit that they can’t accidentally give someone who was only homeless 11 months or who was homeless 11 months housed 1 month but became homeless again. this is infuriating lmao ughhhhh why cant we just give people homes fuck

      i mean the only people with access to the information are nonprofits and it explicitly can’t be used against them like government police etc they have VERY strict consent rules in regards to the system. its not as precise as you may think in terms of the “surveillance” just what providers they enter and essential documents that are often needed between organizations. i agree though its fucked but i may have mischaracterized it for brevity
