A very hard article to read, but also very good and important. Homelessness can be such a hopeless issue. So many things contribute to it - especially what you earmark - and it seems like solutions are so singular and inadequate. Easy to be discouraged. I surely don't have the answers, for this and so many global problems, other than something that seems like a cop-out position: a major reformation of our spiritual well being (not talking religion here) and I for one have no idea how to bring that about. In turn, I applaud any who take even one small step toward helping, and I think articles like this fit in that category. Thank you.
