I feel homelessness is an ongoing problem in our nation. It is a problem that is going to continue to get worse before it gets better because of the lack of jobs in our nation. There are some startling statistics (http://www.cbpp.org/cms/index.cfm?fa=view&id=2228) about homelessness and unemployment in our nation that backs up the argument that it is going to get worse before it is going to get better. On a positive note, Boston has done a good job of helping the homeless (http://www.brm.org/homeless/greaterboston.aspx), but it is still by no means close to being solved. Realisticly speaking there will always be homeless people. That is just the way the world works, but reducing the number of homeless will improve the quality and economics of this nation.reducing homelessness would also mean reducing the unemployment rate which is also an ongoing problem.
