Cut the F-35 order by about 1,000 and we could house/feed the homeless till the year 2100.

Well, we can house and feed the homeless now.

The problem with the homeless isn't resource based, it's logistics based essetially.

 

Most homeless people  we're talking a family sleeping in a car their week because their apartment leases don't line up.   

For the Chronic homeless, those who are homeless all the time there are generally two great challenges.

 

1)  Mental Illness.  Due to Mental illness and a right to choose ones own medical treatment a large number of homeless are mentally ill.

2)  Drug/Alchohol abuse.   You can't get into a shelter or housing program if your under the influence, for obvious reasons.
