(CNSNews.com) -- President Barack Obama has requested over half-a-billion dollars for Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) programs that provide housing assistance to homeless or HIV-positive people in drug treatment.

For the Fiscal Year 2013 National Drug Control budget, Obama has requested $25.6 billion, including $542.4 million to fund HUD programs that provide housing to individuals in drug treatment, according to the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), which is charged with developing that budget.

Putting drug addicts and ex convicts into middle class neighborhoods

Yep. A nice, family oriented, well kept neighborhood gets a welfare housing unit built right in the middle of it. Crime goes up, housing value goes down. Good people move out, trash moves in. The nice little neighbor hood quickly becomes a democrat slum.

"We need Nuremberg style trials for this type of support."

Exactly, none of this "play nice" crap we've been getting. These guys are lawbreakers. Laws against humanity ought to be enforced.

How much pure grade heroin would that buy them?

Let them shoot a hotshot, O.D., then the problem is resolved.

This has been going on for AGES in NYS. I used to work as a clerk for the Section 8 program back in the nineties; would make your hair stand on end!! Taxpayer dollars used to give magic carpet rides to the 'burbs for the dregs of humanity. In the hope that they will adopt their new neighbor's way of life. Yeah right.

The wee hour parties due to no job to go to the next day; the used condoms, trash and used diapers tossed out of windows, etc. etc. Crack baggies on the front lawn--yep the "for sale" signs would pop up like mushrooms as another decent neighborhood would go down the tubes with state approval. Best to move to the country as most urbanites are frightened of it. Oh and here in upstate NY there is "special funding" for HIV "clients" so that they can get free anti-HIV meds.

Of course Obama wants to destroy the suburbs.

“President Obama is not a fan of America’s suburbs. Indeed, he intends to abolish them. With suburban voters set to be the swing constituency of the 2012 election, the administration’s plans for this segment of the electorate deserve scrutiny. Obama is a longtime supporter of “regionalism,” the idea that the suburbs should be folded into the cities, merging schools, housing, transportation, and above all taxation. To this end, the president has already put programs in place designed to push the country toward a sweeping social transformation in a possible second term. The goal: income equalization via a massive redistribution of suburban tax money to the cities.”

There are many other articles stating basically the same thing.
