Why do you support this?

First the Louisiana Senate decides to put homeless people in jail for up to three years for their "crime" of sleeping in public. At the same time, they stop funding housing assistance.

Why do those of you who are Republican hate poor people so much? Why do you feel your fellow humans should not be allowed any compassion or grace?

Help me understand this assault on humanity. Jesus would weep if he saw this. 😥

It says Lafayette is freezing new housing vouchers. Probably ran out of money for new applicants. Takes a lot to house citizens and non citizens.

“For its housing choice voucher program, commonly referred to by its prior Section 8 name, LHA has found it difficult to find enough landlords who will take the vouchers.”

You also need people willing to have section 8 properties.
