Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Really it's the strings attached to "free" housing. Like loss of belongings, sobriety requirements, curfews, etc. Things that are hard to tolerate when you do not have resources.
Exactly. Start by not making homeless people jump through any moral more moralistic hoops than you ask home owners to jump through.
Housing First is the most important. Can't really assist with any addiction if they don't have their own private living space.
