There is a program called Continuum of Care. Those are groups of HUD sponsored programs for homeless families in various communities.
The Fiscal Year 2014 amount from HUD for this one program for homeless families is $1.83 billion. Not much compared to our wars but just to say some of us are working on the problem.
