The homeless problem is mostly about alcohol-addled, drug-addicted, mentally ill people who choose to live outside the realms of society, safety and hygiene. Agencies, churches and food banks help keep families afloat between paychecks, and shelters can house those who are willing to change their lives. But the chronic homeless need care, too. I ask the county and cities to explore solutions in other Florida cities that have seasonal surges in homelessness, and consider the Tampa model in conjunction with existing Broward shelters.
