		<description><![CDATA[The data is in. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development&#8217;s (HUD) 2010 Annual Homeless Assessment Report to Congress (AHAR) indicates that &#34;Housing First&#34; is effective at preventing and reducing homelessness. This begs the question: Why is &#34;Housing First&#34; such a tough sell?&#160;&#160; Beginning during the Bush administration, hundreds of communities across the U.S. [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=slohomeless.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1208568&amp;post=1903&amp;subd=slohomeless&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Is it just me? Or does it seem paradoxical to anyone else that there are those who are employed and have housing only because there are folks who are homeless? Even more staggering to me is that homeless support services (HSS) in the U.S. — something which started out with altruistic, well-meaning intentions — has [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=slohomeless.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1208568&amp;post=1901&amp;subd=slohomeless&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Homelessness in the U.S. is an issue that has remained largely unsolved. Too be sure, we&#8217;re getting better at offering shelter and meals to those experiencing homelessness. We&#8217;ve also become better at trying to provide better medical services to our homeless citizens. We&#8217;ve even eased up a bit on rigid registration requirements in our school [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=slohomeless.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1208568&amp;post=1892&amp;subd=slohomeless&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As a society we&#8217;ve become quite skilled at assuming a person is homeless through some fault of their own — even when there is ample evidence to the contrary. I&#8217;m not sure why this is. Perhaps it has to do with our having viewed homelessness through the eyes of stereotypes for so long that we [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=slohomeless.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1208568&amp;post=1888&amp;subd=slohomeless&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Homelessness is not, by any stretch of the imagination, an easy issue to address. And although I personally do not believe that homelessness can be eliminated altogether, I am nonetheless convinced that we can significantly reduce the numbers of folks who are experiencing homelessness.
