Some actual good news

From 2012 to 2013, homelessness in America fell by 3.7 percent.

This is really amazing because, as the above link notes, the homeless don't vote, don't donate to political campaigns, and it's not a problem most Americans are concerned about.  But with the likes of new HUD Secreatry Julian Castro, New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, and Michelle Obama speaking out about how to end homelessness in America, maybe a change is coming.

And you take your victories where you can get them--especially if you're one of the 600,000 Americans who are homeless on any given night.

Peace,
