A new study has exposed waste and abuse in the industry that is meant to ‘end’ homelessness. It revealed that taxpayer dollars that have been earmarked for this problem have been funneled to radical left wing causes for political reasons.
It actually makes perfect sense. There are lots of people who make a ton of money fighting homelessness. Why would they want the problem to be solved? That would mean an end to their industry.
This is a reminder that progressives do not actually care about the homeless. They see them as a means to an end. A way to fund their preferred political causes.
FOX News reports:
A new study just exposed the corruption behind America’s homelessness crisis
A groundbreaking investigation, “Infiltrated” – backed by more than 50 pages of documentation from the Capital Research Center in cooperation with Discovery Institute – pulls back the curtain on a vast system of corruption. It reveals how billions in taxpayer funds intended to lift people out of homelessness have instead bankrolled radical activism and anti-American political agendas, betraying both the taxpayers who fund it and the homeless they were meant to help…
It exposes how radical networks have quietly embedded themselves within leading homelessness nonprofits, sharing infrastructure, donors and ideology.
What began as a movement rooted in compassion has metastasized into what can only be described as a Homelessness Industrial Complex – a sprawling web of nonprofits, bureaucrats and activists feeding off the very crisis they claim to solve.
They’ve built an empire of corruption draped in “evidence-based” slogans that shield politics, protect paychecks and betray the vulnerable.
The report lays it bare: these networks posture as defenders of America’s homeless, yet in truth, they have become their greatest exploiters, dependent on failure to sustain power.
John Nolte of Breitbart News commented on this:
Sadly, too many homeless advocates only take pride in ensuring people remain homeless. Why? Well, who wants to work themselves out of a job, especially a sweet-ass government or NGO job? Those aren’t real jobs. Real jobs require results.
But it’s not only that…
To these left-wing activists, the homeless are pawns in their political advocacy and activism. Keep them on the street; keep the money flowing, direct that money into electing Democrats.
It’s the same with the failed urban public schools and all this green energy nonsense.
Bill Essayli, a special U.S. attorney in California has begun to investigate some of this but we clearly need a national audit. These funds cannot be misused in this way.
We need to actually end homelessness in the United States, not allow the left to benefit from it politically.
