Home At Last

Pathways to Housing is an organization that houses substance abuse users BEFORE they sober up, of course along the way they are expected to try and sober up but I'm not sure what happens to them if they don't. Do I agree with this? Sure! Why not? I believe that everyone deserves a home or a roof over their heads. There is not one person who is undeserving of a home. What happens when they don't sober up? My group believes that Pathways should then try to force rehabilitation but I disagree. If a person isn't willing to change themselves, then what's the point in you trying to change them? At least you gave them a home. You provided them safety and security permanently.
There are people out there that believe substance abuse users should sober up before given homes. I believe that you should go ahead and give them homes. So why should you give homeless substance abuse users homes before they sober up? Well let me ask: what if the only thing that they needed to motivate them to stop using these substances was a home, would you provide it for them even then?
I believe that everyone deserves second chances, and change doesn't happen over night obviously it takes time. Even if they don't sober up at all you should still allow them to stay in the home because then that would mean that all of your hard work that cultivated throughout the years had gone to waste.
