The American Dream has become the Everyday Nightmare for so many.

I speak from experience and with compassion, when I say our homeless situation isn't going away anytime soon.
We need to get to the root cause, begin to address it, and with compassion and specific firm goals, start to turn this around.
The Blame Game is getting us nowhere. Saying every homeless person is an addict and just wants to be high or drunk is a weak excuse.
What can we do as a society, as a people to start to turn this?

I believe the most pressing issue/problem is safe clean affordable housing. Taking into consideration anyone who is on SSI receives less than $1,000 a month to exist on.

SSI is no longer the giveaway program that so many people believe it to be.
In your home area what is the average price of a one bedroom apartment in a safe neighborhood?
