You got another FIVE MONTHS of this, readers. How George W. Bush WON IRAQ and MADE AMERICA BETTER!!!
I just ordered five cases of airsick bags.
"Number of homeless reported down 30%; Officials say 'housing first' strategy a success" by Rachel L. Swarns, New York Times News Service | July 30, 2008
WASHINGTON - The number of chronically homeless people living in the nation's streets and shelters has dropped by about 30 percent - to 123,833 from 175,914 - between 2005 and 2007, Bush administration officials said yesterday.
Oh, the WHITE HOUSE SAID!
What's ONE MORE SELF-SERVING LIE, 'eh?
Officials attribute much of the decline to the "housing first" strategy that has been promoted by the Bush administration and Congress and increasingly adopted across the country.
Yeah, while we have RECORD FORECLOSURES and TENT CITIES
in California!!!!
Gimme a fucking break with the PROPAGANDA!!!
In that approach, local officials place chronically homeless people into permanent shelter - apartments, halfway houses, or rooms - and then focus on treating addiction and mental and health problems. Until cities and states began adopting the program, many of those people seemed to shuttle endlessly between shelters, hospitals, and the street.
Yeah, well, unfortunately, I see the SAME GUY wandering the streets DAY AFTER DAY in this town!
So quit blowing fart mist up my butt, NYT!
HUD collects the statistics as part of its Annual Homeless Assessment Report to Congress. The report said that 1.6 million people experienced homelessness and found shelter between Oct. 1, 2006 and Sept. 30, 2007. Individuals accounted for 70 percent of the people living in shelters during that time. The rest were families with children.
NO ONE should be homeless in America!
Yup, trillions for occupatio... aww, what's the use!?
Critics of the report often say that it undercounts the homeless because it does not include those in precarious living situations such as families living in campgrounds or individuals doubled up with friends or relatives."
Campgrounds?
Like the tent cities, right?
Now normally, I would go to the New York Times web site and seek to augment this Globe pick-up.
But no more. I rarely ever go there after PURCHASING and READING their paper for DECADES!!!!
Not when they regurgitate horse shit lies for a mass-murdering war criminal and try to tell us how great a job he's done.
I really don't care about the trash the NYT has to serve up anymore. I guess I'm part of their collapse as a newspaper, huh?
