We should not have any homeless families in this country..

We should be able to help any family with housing, childcare and a job, it is our duty as People of Holy GOD and Americans IMO..

Well I am sure there is alot we don't know here. I will really try and watch the news tonight. We don't normally see many homeless here, not like California or Portland and some of those area's. Maybe they are all in the free campgrounds. But I can see where 2 Mom's and their children would be targets. They have lost tract of one Mom, but who knows she could be driving from campground to campground looking for them. An impossible thing for 1 person or even law enforcement. Camping is prevalent everywhere.

It's impossible to not have homeless families. The main reason a single mom, or a family, wouldn't seek housing assistance is drug abuse. They're afraid they'll lose custody of their kids (especially if they have prior convictions) and opt to live in a car, camp-out or other less than optimal environments, to avoid social service workers.
