City in Hurricane Zone Bans Feeding Homeless Downtown

The so-called "ten year plans" are little more than schemes to maintain and/or win federal funds. These schemes are the result of the Bush administration's revisions to Section 8 housing assistance, which makes "ten year plans" a stipulation for receipt of federal funds. With little concern for and input from the homeless, businesses and social service providers in cities around the country are jumping for money and/or profit, in what might be described as sanitization disguised as solutions. Meanwhile, the faith-based slush fund is gushing.
