A fluctuating funding source for our homeless problems is ridiculous. We need non-profit treatment programs for addicts, mental health assistance, job training and beds. Most people think of me as a conservative, but this is a public problem. Similarly, we need those same programs for ex-felons and veterans. These are real human beings, with real problems, and it's going to take an honest serious government to fix it, not the money grubbing crooks we have.
