The lowest of the lower class live in government housing...and then there are the homeless.

I haven't heard Building Opportunities for Self Sufficiency but there is another agency... something "plus" that basically places those coming out of homelessness/abusive environments into properties.

Whatever. my house is being foreclosed on anyway. they'll be homeless soon anyway. i just dont understand why theyre fighting to stay somewhere they arent wanted

And hopefully there's no wait list for that, lest they be homeless for a short period.

Many of the foreclosed properties in this area are being rented / lease-optioned / resold to young professionals and families.Not much multi-family here, though, to the OP's point.If you're talking about Joliet from the river / downtown on east, then yes - you're looking at different strategies in those areas.That said, one of the couples in my investing group based in Downers Grove has hooked up with a VA program for providing housing for homeless veterans near where they get treatment for physical and other disabilities or near public transit they can use to get around.

There are some local homeless veterans programs around that help housing and provide resources to people with legal or social issues.

They can be a good cash flow business if you are willing to provide super-active management.The up sides:- Weekly cash payments- A lot of the time payments and tenants are provided by third parties such as halfway houses and homeless charities.

You have neighborhood associations, affordable housing groups, public officials, developers and land owners grappling over who has the right solution for the housing crisis and growing homeless population. 

'I'm homeless, the government must house me.'

She told me "you are the reason people go homeless"I started to explain to her how business and really life in general worked, but then I realized it would do no good, and just said "ok" and she hung up.
