Tenant Spars With Landlord Over Needed Repairs

  

 

  

It happens all too often. Those that need help from a governmental agency get  brushed off. While the government doesn’t look to be at fault in this case, all too often they are. Those in need are placed in inferior apartments, rooms and housing units. The problem starts with the agency and that’s why I am referring to them first. The agencies that are responsible for the placement of those in need all too often only give the client/applicant  a choice of selecting the least of the worst, if available and if approved of by landlord. The agency that is responsible for this is normally called The Board of Social Services. I have been to many meetings with clients that have applied to some of these agencies. The housing lists are often outdated with wrong information and the social worker’s themselves even misdirect the client. The worker’s are often overworked with too many cases and that leads to bad attitudes. In being in at least a dozen meetings I have found but one social worker that had an attitude of care and concern toward the client/applicant. Generally speaking, people that grow up wanting to be a social worker have an a good caring disposition toward those in need, however after a couple years of working the system that all changes. I am not saying in all cases, probably just most. It is understandable if you see the workload and the type of people that they have to deal with each day. I believe that they should think about that before getting into that field of work because it’s those type of people that need the help, and it’s that overworked agency that has no funds that is going to overwork them. If they don’t like it, they should get out.

The Homeless Herald

The Homeless Herald is a site dedicated to the Homeless, the Addicted, the Abused, and America’s Disasters. This site is has been created by Reverend Robert for the Reverend Robert Ministries on behalf of the Homeless. The site is an informational resource site to locate county, state, and federal departments that nay be of help in obtaining housing, food and medicare care as well as vocational training. This is to help get those that have been affected by a disaster to get back into the workforce as quickly as possible.

This site came about because Reverend Robert found that there are people out there that have been involved in some type of disaster, whether it be man-made or natural, and perhaps didn’t have the available funds or insurance  to obtain housing, clothing or food and the county social service offices sometimes deny these qualified people for benefits. Sounds like a nightmare doesn’t it. Think about it for a moment. Middle of the night your house catches fire. At present most of your money has been going to pay back bills so therefore you have no funds saved and insurance was something money could be spent on at that time. You end up in the hospital for say eight months come out and have nothing. What does that person do? Turn to the county services and they deny you. Sounds like a horror story doesn’t it?        Click here to read one person’s experience like this 

The Homeless Herald has about eight categories of information. The site is looking for writer’s to place their article’s. Also the site is asking anyoneif they have something they want to write about and do some research on, The Homeless Herald will look at it and perhaps publish your article. In addition the site is in need of people’s horror stories. So if you like contact the site:      Click Here for The Homeless Herald

You will find that The Homeless Herald is a new site that is still under construction but anyone can get on the site, subscribe to the site and read the articles and content. Advertising on the site is very limited so therefore you will see a Donate Box which will help the site to expand and help more of those in their time of need.

Reverend Robert coordinates food deliveries to soup kitchens from restaurants, so therefore if you are a restaurant that would like to participate in ythis iniative please contact the Reverend.     Click here for the Reverend

The destructive earthquake of a magnitudinal force of 7.0 flattened the Capital of Haiti as well as many surrounding neighborhoods. Bodies are piled up in the streets and the churches, hospitals, the main prison and schools. Little children, woman and men lay dead. Senator Youri Latortue reported to the Associated Press that anywhere up to 500,000 could be dead, however there is no official count as of yet. U.S. Humanitarian Chief John Holmes said that it is possible for the death toll to reach that amount. Entire neighborhoods of homes are flattened and bodies lay strewn throughout. 

The International Red Cross is on scene and a spokesperson has reported that up to one third of Haiti’s population could need medical care. Additionally it is said that it could take days in order to just estimate the amount of damage. The Red Cross has announced plans for damage assessments and relief operations for this devastated and poverty stricken country.

Scriptures

There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who a sows discord among brothers. - Proverbs 6:16-19 ESV
