Any reason he couldn't get a job at McDonalds or Burger King? Would provide him a steady check and he could at least get a place to put his head at night...

no photo ID, no address, no SSN, no job, no hope

plus most of those guys are too incapacitated to work a regular job

Not sure he could maintain a job in the fast food industry if he can't get access to a shower every day and doesn't have an address.

But yes there are things he could probably do but every homeless person generally has individual reasons for being where they are. It could be depression, substance abuse, some random medical condition, mental health issues, or a criminal record.

You have to say that he is probably ready for a change by giving his name and waving over a reporter. Props to him for putting his name out and putting a face on the issue. .

Well, if there are other factors that he won't talk about, like drug addiction, then that would be something that could hold him back from steady employment.

I have no clue what's got him at this stage, but I'm sure there were some wrong turns along the way. Hopefully Tiger nation can pull together and find this guy something to keep him out of harms way. We stress on here constantly how it pays to stay in-state and play at LSU...let's prove it

purple 86 to work at Burger King or any other of those fast food restaurants you have to have a telephone you have to have clean clothes you have to get there when they need you yave to have a address ! manure has uses it has a value , blame is worthless, ( 86) !

And Jesus said to them, "I command unto you: dismiss and disparage the homeless. They are looking for handouts and probably like being homeless. Survival of the fittest is the only route into heaven."

Seriously? $9 an hour x 40 hours minus taxes/soc sec. = 800 a month...
