Homelessness: is it caused by mental illness and/or substance abuse? Or are economic deprivation and poverty the underlying causes?
Last winter, I wrote a letter to Mayor Muriel Bowser emphasizing that many homeless people are suffering from mental illness and need psychiatric medication and psychological counseling. Even more people simply need proper nutrition, health care and proper winter clothes, especially during the coldest months.
In my letter, I highly praised Mayor Bowser for the excellent job she was doing improving of the lives of many homeless people and families through housing projects and the construction of more shelters. These projects boost and strengthen morale, not to mention the free flu shots. “Spread the love, not the flu,” is the logo. In response to this endeavor, I would like to convey and express our deepest and sincerest gratitude. Thank you very much to the mayor of D.C.
