Homelessness is an issue in your district. How about helping them? Maybe introduce legislation?https://twitter.com/DevinNunes/status/1226929779099754497 …

Such a difficult thing to do. We currently do have places where homeless can go but they have rules. Like no drinking and no drugs. To really fight homelessness we need to focus on the root cause.
There are programs for substance abuse and severe mental illness that help homeless people but there is a lack of funding. HUD did a study in 2012 and said to effectively end homelessness it would cost only 20 billion. Just as a reference the farm bailouts were 28 billion.

The cost of the Iraq war was, is, 2.4 trillion dollars or 2,400 billion dollars.

So it's fair to say we have the means.
