In another example of interagency collaboration, HUD is joining the Department of Justice, HHS, VA and the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Education and Labor in Serious and Violent Offender Reentry Initiative to identify at-risk persons and provide services BEFORE they become homeless. The purpose of this $100 million program is to prepare offenders for life outside of prison and youth correctional facilities. This initiative provides approximately $2 million to states to create a reentry strategy that reduces homelessness among ex-offenders.

How about preventing homelessness among serious and violent offenders by keeping them in prison? Have any objective studies been done, I wonder, that show exactly how many repeat offenders were homeless when they robbed, murdered or raped again, after being released in the "at risk" general population?

We all know that "mo money" is the solution for all society's ills -- just look at our education system.
