It seems to me that there are so many experts out there who are content to hide behind a computer screen and spout off about things they claim to know about. If you are so knowledgeable, why not join the efforts presented in the 10 Year Plan? A few facts to clarify:
Did You Know
*16% of the homeless are children.
*40% of the homeless are employed
*32% have a college degree
*The leading cause of women who are homeless is domestic violence
*NO one who is homeless chooses the life
All of these statistics can be supported by research conducted by the Interagency Council on Homelessnes, the local arm of the ICH, as well as other reliable sources. When making statements as ugly as the ones I have read over the past 36 hours, at least try to be educated about your responses. Just because you think something, you are not necessarily right.
Experts all around
