Cities see 'alarming' homeless numbers

More families with children are becoming homeless as they face mounting economic pressures, including mortgage foreclosures, according to a USA TODAY survey of a dozen of the largest cities in the nation.
Local authorities say the number of families seeking help has risen in Atlanta, Boston, Denver, Minneapolis, New York, Phoenix, Portland, Seattle and Washington.
Many mayors have 10-year plans to end homelessness and had reported progress until this year. The most recent official count, in January 2007, found 671,888 people living on U.S. streets or in shelters, down 12% from January 2005.
Mangano says a new federal law gives communities $3.9 billion to buy foreclosed properties or provide services to the homeless.

USA TODAY found:
• In New York City, 2,747 families applied for shelter in September 2008, up from 2,087 in September 2007.
• In Hennepin County, including Minneapolis, 880 families were in shelters from January through August 2008, up from 698 in that period last year. At least 10% this year came from foreclosed properties where most had been renters, says Cathy ten Broeke, county coordinator to end homelessness.

Be on the lookout for comments from primitives such as the sparkling husband primitive, the subway cat, the Bostonian Drunkard, the kaput primitive, Doug's ex-wife, the low-calorie primitive, the grazing primitive, Pedro Picasso, Oscar Wilde, the Swanson TV dinner primitive, &c., &c., &c., to see if any of them happen to help solve the homelessness crises.
After all, these are primitives well-housed.

And if Hussein becomes prez, there won't be a single mention of the homeless in the MSM though they will become greater and greater in number and even less cared for than they have been in the last 8 years. I mean the day of inauguration and forward there will be virtually no more mention of them, it'll be as though they don't even exist, just like during the Clinton years.

You are exactly right. If you can remember 1992, there was a huge homelessness problem discovered by the MSM that summer, along with the worst economic conditions since the Great Depression.
The day after the election of The One Who Can Piss Around Corners, both problems evaporated into clear air.

Considering that the population of NYC is roughly 8 MILLION people, this is a non-issue.
