The Obama Admin is actually Helping our Homeless and have been since their goal in 2010..

In 2010, President Obama and 19 federal agencies and offices that form the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) launched the nation’s first comprehensive strategy to prevent and end homelessness. Opening Doors: Federal Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness puts the country on a path to end veterans and chronic homelessness by 2015 and to ending homelessness among children, family, and youth by 2020.

Great to get an update on their ongoing "Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness that puts the country on a path to end verterans and chronic homelessness by 2015 and to ending homelessness among children, family, and youth by 2020."

There will always be people who prefer living outdoors but for those who don't want it .. this is so encouraging!
