I had to completely stop believing this article as soon as I read “ homelessness is lower by %15 “ I am sorry but here in California, certainly northern California , that simply is FALSE.

“In fact, one state has actually eradicated homelessness among Vets altogether - Virginia. In Virginia they have a “housing first” initiative. Which is a “policy that holds that providing homeless people with safe, supportive shelter is a precondition for attending to the issues that caused them to slip through the cracks in the first place.”
I’d bet money thats a gross exaggeration or outright lie. A great many homeless with mental issues don’t want to deal with their problems. Maybe its part of their problem or just a choice but its certainly a fact. Thats why we have so many here in NYC. Not allowed to put people in hospitals to help them with mental issues.

Liberal propaganda. I call bullshit on this one. I’ve read the opposite from too many other legitimate news resources over the past number of years to buy this.

Maybe Obama did get 1/2 of the homeless veterans off the streets. (I doubt it altogether, but let's pretend that he did.)
Then he's still a failure, because: 50% of the homeless vets are still on the streets, now joined by:
Several million economic refugees driven into homelessness by the obscenely high premiums, execrably high deductibles and abominably poor coverage associated with Obamacare they are now required to purchase.

Or thrown into mental institutions.â...When did they bring those back? I worked 22 years in the ones which were shut down, one after another. Retired in 2010. Never saw one start up except jails and prisons.

I don’t know where these bozos are talking about but the homeless, beggar numbers are much,much greater in southern California.I can ‘t pull up to a major intersection or walk into a 7-11 without getting hit up for change and a lot claim to be vets as per their home made cardboard signs.

I went to the site to read the article, and then made the mistake of reading the comments.
What a bunch of deluded misled leftists.

For those of us that did some counter protesting after 9/11 and during the start of the Gulf War one of the problems we encountered was separating the wannabes and the real thing.
I went to DC for the Freeps, 15 or so, and helped organize about 50 or so in Boston, small but fun. The number of REAL homeless vets was small the number of fakes was large.
Excuse my cynicism but I have seen to many frauds to believe the gov.

I am claiming BULLSHIT on that. They havent been to S. Texas
Here in Corpus our streets are full of winter homeless. They come here for the climate. Not because that can get a home. I know firsthand. All the homeless shelters get filled.
