Below are the qualifying guidelines for the program:

•Applicants must be homeless or at risk of homelessness
•Assistance is temporary
•Not for chronically homeless
•Must be able to resume responsibility after assistance ends
•No payments are made directly to individuals
•No mortgage assistance via this program

Yeah, and all the people would qualify by these guidelines...
