I’m not saying there aren’t entire homeless families out there, but when is the last time you’ve seen one?

And couldn’t we just buy each of the ones out there a house for a helluva lot less than $11 billion?

Maybe if he'd stop regulating whole industries out of business these people would have jobs and could pay their own way.

Typical liberals: create a problem so they can "solve" it.

the dearth of affordable housing

Stupid Obama never thought about the consequences of bringing in a million refugees, not to mention allowing tens of millions of illegal latinos to flood in. Did he think that would create more housing? Stupid is as stupid does. We don't need more housing, we need fewer idiots in charge!

Obama Will Seek $11 Billion for Homeless Families

Because a job is out of the question.

As is a marriage to the baby daddy.

Free or really cheap homes to have more babies at $1200 a month each? Each home will need repairs in 2 years because when you get something cheap it doesn’t last. My (disabled) son is in public housing, it “was” new 3 years ago, now it looks like a wreck, aka S#!t house. (As per him, the tenants don’t act responsible and they lack parenting skills.) Sorry if I offend, but 50+ years ago we had these problems, they were not as rampant as they are today. Our society has lost control.

Right.....my underwater mortgage is 1700 per month due to growing property taxes. I make 100k. I wanted to get out of Illinois and rent it out. So I get single non working mom’s with an obamavoucher for 1900 per month to rent it out. They live as good as I do, and do not work. I’m done with this country.

The states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to appropriate taxes in the name of making things a little bit easier for homeless people. A previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified Congresss limited power to appropriate taxes as follows.
”Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” - Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

So unconstitutional, vote-winning federal funding for homeless families is arguably stolen state revenues which the states could be using for the same purpose.

If we pay people to be poor and homeless, more people will be poor and homeless. Face it, 47% of the country would consider that to be a dream “job.” The best way to end poverty would be to stop subsidizing it, thus forcing people to actually work for a living or starve (and yes, we need to be prepared to let people starve if they won’t work).

Well, add up those 3 categories = 43,500 (& 10,000 of them are only for "vouchers")

If Obama & his Obamanomics wanted to come alongside & "assist" all 43,500 families by just GIVING them the $ to go DIRECT into housing...they could purchase homes for an average of $183,908 per family.

Now it IS true that with ANY administrative costs -- ya gotta take off 20-25% to screen/filter WHICH families receive the help. But that STILL would put homes / apartments/condos in the $139,000 to $147,000 category.

PLUS -- when you consider that about 25% of this $ is suppose to go ONLY for vouchers...and not permanent housing... that shoots the value of homes the govt could buy for 33,500 homeless families w/amounts approaching a quarter of a million PER HOUSE / housing unit!

But, of course...Democrat-styled socialism is ALL ABOUT growing the government...NOT helping homeless families!

Of that amount, $8.8 billion would go to housing vouchers and $2.2 billion to more short-term assistance.

Heh heh, you said vouchers. Yeah yeah, why do they like work with housing but not schools? Heh heh.
