Young, alone, and homeless
City, state, and federal officials say there is a rising number of homeless youths and young adults. Every year, tens of thousands of them become too old to remain in state custody or land on the streets because of broken families.
Seems to me there are plenty of empty houses out there.
And never you mind the homeless veterans they meet in the streets.
Yup, Wall Street is having a RECORD YEAR after the massive mortgage securities fraud, the federal government has $3 billion to bribe Israel (not enough, of course), and the war-looters overcharges are always paid -- but no housing for kids.

Yeah, interest payments to banks for the bad deals they sold are the top priority for your tax dollars.
