Hi, Little John ~ I was so glad to be a part of your encore. I hope to eventually do a story on "Homeless Talent" and I hope you don't mind me sharing your Musical video with the world. I was reading the story of the "Homeless initiative" and it is very impressive,and I think it will help many people in the future. Thanks to the Hillsborough county Sherriff's Dept,and many thanks especially to Deputy Steven Donaldson :0) I was also homeless at one time,and I have written a song entitled "Don't they Care" and I hope to sing about it one day,just like you ! Keep playing,and one day we may meet. Until then,Keep singing,Stay safe,and Keep you head held High♥

Welcome to Help Cops Help Us: A Homeless Initiative Blog

The Help Cops Help Us homeless initiative is a new problem-solving model centered on the root causes of homelessness. Its philosophy rests on the fundamental human principle that people, all people, will succumb to the human trait of inevitable behavior until intrigued or compelled to act differently.

The uniformed law enforcement officer is the epicenter of the street engagement model that uses a "coupling" technique, motivating each homeless candidate that becomes accountable to a singular and persistent mortal entity -- a street cop.

The coupling effect is a two-pronged approach where candidates who resist assistance and rehabilitation, by default will receive the law enforcement prong when behavior exhibits a callous disregard with laws and a communities desire in maintaining a certain quality of life.

The homeless candidate receives both direct and indirect assistance after a street assessment evaluates their individual needs and problems. We then solve their most basic problems so they may become self-sufficient.

We mend fences, rebuild character, solve their problems, then push them into the water where they are forced to learn how to swim again.

When they are off the streets and into housing we continue to monitor and follow-up until we are certain they have become self sufficient for long term sustainability.
