The homeless have grown increasingly skeptical of the Homeless Industrial Complex and frustrated by being treated as passive recipients rather than individuals capable of progress. The difficulty in addressing these concerns is

A once beautiful green space, gone. This is the natural consequence of a local government that still hasn’t faced the mental-health and addiction crisis head-on while also creating a consequence free city.

I just watched four homeless Tri-met homeless outreach workers walk past more than 20 homeless people without a single acknowledgment. no eye contact, no “hello,” nothing. I don’t care if they were on break. I don’t care if they were heading home. (They weren’t.) And I don’t care if this wasn’t their neighborhood. (It is.)
This isn’t an isolated incident. I’ve seen this exact behavior dozens of times over the past year. In fact, almost every time I’ve ever seen them. That says everything about the state of Portland’s outreach system.
The people they’re supposed to be helping don’t even know who they are — and until that changes, these workers will never be effective.

Warning Graphic. A homeless teenager dies of a fentanyl overdose on the streets of Portland. He was regularly supplied Harm Reduction supplies such as pipes, needles, straws. In the eyes of the activists they were preventing harm. Death is harm.

Giving a homeless person a tent does nothing but prolong their suffering. Well meaning volunteers gave a Homeless woman this tent even though she was planning on going to a shelter. Once she received the tent, she lost motivation for the shelter. Now she’s still homeless.

My biggest problem with Harm Reduction. I will never understand why they would ever hand out pipes foil and straws to a fentanyl addict. Fentanyl is now the deadliest substance in history. This is not reducing harm. I’ve witnessed so many people overdose and die minutes after they were handed drug kits.

When you give a homeless person a tent you prolong their suffering. They will never get their needs met on the streets and to continuously resupply a person camping supplies is inhumane. I worked in social services for decades and I can tell you that in that entire time we were

An autistic homeless man said harm reduction workers should have a moral obligation to not give mentally ill people the tools to continue to use drugs.

A good idea is great but implementing that idea is the most important part. This is a failed tiny home village that only lasted only a year. Not only does the Homeless Industrial Complex make billions but they have not shown they can run something successfully.

@LauraLoomer @charliekirk11 So we start wars? No more regime change wars or fighting others’ battles

The big lie the Homeless Industrial Complex has been selling the public for decades is that housing ends homelessness. This has led to a multi billion dollar boon in manufacturing and countless social service programs. The

The definition of insanity. The city forcing the homeless to move at least two blocks where they are allowed to be for at least four days before being asked to move again back to their original spot. While the city is doing this, the county

In 2021 I took the Mayor to thousand acres to show him for himself. He and I desperately try to raise awareness with a public, but the state in the county continued to downplay the devastation. He and I were inspired to make videos after a faithful day only weeks before

[Kevin Dahlgren 🥾 🥾 @kevinvdahlgren]

A shocking visual representation of radicalized progressive policies. @tarafaul503 were absolutely speechless over the devastation. The land is owned by the state and has been managed by the county. Both notoriously radical. They have knowingly allowed hundreds of

The very people we hire to end homelessness are the very people benefitting from homelessness. There was a big event today in downtown Portland and multiple homeless outreach providers committed to be down there. The homeless I spoke to did not see any and nor did I. I don’t

[Kevin Dahlgren 🥾 🥾 @kevinvdahlgren]

You’re not feeding the homeless you’re feeding the rats. A majority of the food that volunteers and outreach workers leave at Homeless camps end up becoming rat food. The reason why is our homeless community is way over fed. They are NOT eating what you are leaving them!

[Kevin Dahlgren 🥾 🥾 @kevinvdahlgren]

My county announced they’re going to end tent distribution to the Homeless except during cold weather events. This is a step in the right direction as handing out tents has only enabled a person to be homeless longer. I predict, though nonprofits will counter this decision by handing out more tents than ever before.

I went on Primetime @NEWSMAX with @SteveHiltonx who’s running for Governor of California and discussed how radicalized progressive policies is destroying his state. Steve has a solid plan to reduce homelessness and disrupt the Homeless Industrial Complex. He’s worth a follow!
