The past couple of months have seen the implementation of years of work that Deon Joseph and others have been putting into motion. This past week we saw the beginning of operation healthy streets done in such a way that is actually doing outreach to those in skid row. The critics claimed that those on the streets would refuse service. The reports coming in are that people are accepting help to get off of the streets. Instead of what Deon Joseph has called "sprinkling pills " onto them and then throwing the back to the streets , the change involves getting the people services and helping them log term.
Is it time now for Deon Joseph who has been calling on this approach for years to finally receive the attention he sorely deserves fro as high up as the President of the United States of America. It may be time.
