There are homeless people every where there is desirable weather. But the shelters and the homeless groups are not enforcing the fact that the homeless help is to help not enable. You can't get a cabanna at Higgs beach, Rest Beach or Smathers beach unless you promise the "bums" that they can have your leftovers once the party/picnic is over. And them you have to scrub/dissinfect the area because you cewrtainly don't want your family in their filth. The coalition should help or donate the funds to the school system!

no more money for the homeless, these people have zero intention of trying to get back on their feet we are wasting hundreds of thousands of dollars on the shelter and the mobil out reach, we should be discouraging people from comming here and being homeless, and health benifits for the volunteers? are you kidding me, i work two jobs so does my wife and we dont have health care . its outragous!!!!

We have no money for the schools but I bet they will find the money for the bums. This is ridiculous. It is time to take back the island from these lowlifes. If the shelter was used for the purpose of helping that would be one thing but many are permenant residence that do nothing to help themselves out of their situation. They spend all day hanging at the beach, beg some money, puke of the bridges and check into the shelter only to start their next eventful day the next morning. Throw them to the fishes or give them tickets home. WE do not want them on our island any more.
