For example, charities maintain (and exacerbate) poverty and unhoming of people by doing everything but what's needed: giving someone a home unconditionally and access to BASIC HUMAN needs (like water, food and clothing). There's enough money to do so (if we can spend $100 billion of the federal budget on a instigated war from 2014, we can feed the people in this fucking country). Without doing this, they encourage this yoyo of having to accept anything (including below "minimum wage" work, abusive work conditions and other inhumane working conditions) to prevent going back to the blender of charity services. And that's mainly for white cishet men who are poor and unhomed. For others, jailing becomes no different than Salvation Army's housing.
