I read the article, we need for HUD to explore ways of getting the homeless into the vacant housing.
In the past the leaders just left the homeless people on the sidewalks and no one was doing anything here to help the homeless, it is only recently that Mayor Bass in Los Angeles started helping the homeless, and in Orange County we had rich Christians from the Philippines here helping the homeless, it is only recently that the leaders have decided that helping the homeless is a priority.
So, as we begin this new effort to get the homeless into housing then we need to explore ways of getting the homeless into the vacant housing that is already built, we have 16 million vacant homes.
If the people want to make money from the vacant homes, then we need to explore ways that those homeowners can make money from their currently vacant properties. If they are waiting to sell, then maybe we can work out some kind of deal so that they can make money as the housing goes to the homeless.
HUD needs to explore ways of having mutual rewards for the owners of the vacant housing and the homeless, the owners need money, and the homeless need housing.
( I also support group homes for the homeless, and Sober Living Homes, and Hostels. )
Salute,
