We need a comprehensive solution towards the issue of homelessness. KDS believes in providing appropriate temporary housing and job opportunities to those experiencing homelessness. We believe in helping these individuals get back on their feet through drug rehab, job training, and education. However, we advocate for a zero-tolerance policy towards vagrancy. Dallas Police must aggressively enforce anti-vagrancy laws to prevent mentally ill panhandlers from harassing local business owners and patrons. Immigrant small business owners and low-wage workers are the most affected by the constant danger and expense of dealing with these individuals, many of whom have no interest in bettering themselves. While “Affordable Housing” program advocates are often well-intentioned, these programs will NOT address the root of the problem.
