I'm not suggesting help becoming an on-going hand out -- obviously that doesn't work. But, what I'm saying is use federal funds to build housing for them to have a place to live. Then if they go to soup kitchens to eat or whatever so be it. I just don't want them in the street.
And for a time, when there is a natural disaster, I want the government to provide shelter, housing and basic services for a period of time to allow people to get back on their feet.
