NMNK HOMELESS SINGLES ARE PUNISHED FOR NOT BRINGING CHILDREN THEY CAN'T AFFORD INTO THIS WORLD

NMNK singles are the LAST to receive help when it comes to shelters, housing, and so on. The local "intake" people prefer to help people with children, in particular women who are mothers who have no husbands contributing to household income.  When a social services agency gives a housing voucher to such a person, they get the credit for housing several people at at time.  Their stats go up. And no one wants children to be on the street, it's dangerous.  How can you succeed in school while sleeping in a car or living in a tent.  I get it.

That said, a person who is NMNK and becomes homeless has nowhere to turn.  Meeting a person who works for an agency that claims to help the homeless get into housing. I learned that the single's expert was basically the SENIORS expert.
Age discrimination in the workplace, an episode of bad health, these are the things that can bring a previously self supporting and productive individual to the street. The street can make a person emotionally or mentally ill.  Such persons are encouraged to try to SSI or SSDI so that they can have an income.  It sometimes takes years to get these benefits.  Meanwhile they are on GR (a couple hundred a month) and their food benefits can run out before the end of the month.  Then, if they do intake at a social service agency that gets the housing vouchers, they may be out there for two or more years. The situation doesn't get better for seniors because there are not enough government subsidized housing projects and the ones that exist are full and not even taking applications.

The sympathy is just not there for people who have no family, have not created a family, who are childless by fate or choice. They are not a priority.  They may have been law abiding citizens, they may be educated, they may have supported themselves, but basically when it comes right down to it, they are out of luck.  And so, SOME NMNK who as responsible individuals did not bring children into this world they could not afford, feel PUNISHED for being that responsible.  They begin to resent all those who didn't use contraception even though they could not afford to bring a child or children into this world.  Sure, contraception isn't perfect, but let's face it.  Some people start having babies as teenagers and keep having babies. 

ARE YOU A NMNK person who feels discriminated against in this or any other governmental program?
