When Janice Coe, a homeless advocate in Loudoun County, learned through her prayer group that a young woman was sleeping in the New Carrollton Metro station with a toddler and a 2-month-old, she sprang into action.
Coe contacted the young woman and arranged for her to take the train to Virginia, where she put the little family up in a Comfort Suites hotel. Then Coe began calling shelters to see who could take them.

Now we know Romney is going to win. The return of the homeless is always a sign that there is a Republican president.

Please note that there are no homeless - now.
Should our election cheating not work, you may report on the millions of newly discovered homeless in Feb 2013.
That was exactly my same thought!

Funny how the AP suddenly mentions “prayer group” in a positive tone.
Yup. In 2008 you couldn’t pick up a newspaper or turn on the TV without seeing a heart wrenching story of people being forclosed on and living in their cars. I haven’t seen one since Obama was elected.
Should this be possible?
No government largesse for them?
Her prayer group has an updated edition of the New Testament:
And Jesus said: “Come, you that are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you BY THE GOVERNMENT from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and THE GOVERNMENT gave me food, I was thirsty and THE GOVERNMENT gave me something to drink . . . . . “
hmmmm? They’re reporting this while The Won is still in the WH?
I thought we weren’t going to be hearing about the homeless until noon on January 20th.
“No government largesse for them?”
Not enough private charity in the land of government largesse, either, apparently, nor enough private industry to support either.
I was just going to say it must be Reagan’s fault.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
Washington DC is the wealthiest city in the country. Why can’t these wealthy bums take care of people in need?
We actually have a woman here who has created a shelter called New Beginnings without government help. She has fundraisers and spends most of her own money from a job as a cashier at a supermarket.
She has managed to get a couple of homes and she takes them in and helps them get on their feet by teaching them skills and helping them to get jobs. I donate to her, she does a great job.
Homeless families are the most “appreciated” homeless, and benefit the most from intelligent religious charity.
And I mean “charity”, not “charities”. I’ve seen how a single church can support and recover half a dozen homeless families at once, getting them a place to stay, food and clothing, schooling for their children, employment for the parents, and “community integration” long enough to stabilize their situation as “returned to prosperity”. And do all of that at low cost.
In the process it also tends to create a rock solid congregation as well, with both current and new members. What’s not to like?
Hasn’t Obummer taken care of all these people? Hasn’t she received her Obama phone yet?
“Why cant these wealthy bums take care of people in need?”
Priorities. There are solar panels in Budapest that need to built.
Oh, and you’re not paying enough taxes.
