Just a side bar for those who may be newer residents. Many of us here have been involved with those who live in the Ocala national forest, many villages churches do many wonderful projects there, and people are probably appreciative. But, all of the charity organizations here have found the homeless to be VERY opposed to moving into traditional housing, even when some churches have offered them.

Additionally, the villages is probably pretty much like our entire country...homelessness, regardless of your empathy for, or disdain for that state of being, is just totally out of control in our country. Once considered primarily an inner city "problem".. no more !
