Well they DO support themselves...and peer support means sharing the drugs. My sister was housed there by the government at one stage (reduced rental housing) and she begged us to help her move out because her next-door-but-one neighbour volunteered to babysit her kids (3 yrs old and 14 months old), and fed the 3yo a laced biscuit...she ended up in hospital and my sisiter nearly lost her kids because of someone else's madness.
Hell 'I' am a low income earner...I officially earn about 150 per week under the poverty line...but hubby and I managed to raise 2 kids and keep them healthy and safe, so money or lack of it isn't the issue.
What is the issue in that area is that it seems to be accepted to partake of drugs and alcohol, damn the kids or anyone else, and when things like this happen they all tut-tut and make promises to change things....but it never happens
Hell sorry to make an essay of this...I am just as big a monetary struggler or at least have been as these people and I've never done anything that stupid to harm a child.
