More Families in California Homeless...

[RLF777]

Homeless families...It would be nice to say that is an isolated incident, but it is not. Twenty of 21 cities surveyed for a new report from U.S. Conference of Mayors reported an increase in requests for food, and 59 percent of those requests came from families. In addition, 16 of 25 cities reported a significant increase in homeless families, with San Francisco among the leaders.

Indiana is especially hard hit as well.... and the area I live in is hardest hit of all, the county I live in has the highest unemployment rates in the entire state.... this area is dominated by manufactured housing, van conversions, and travel trailers, and businesses that support those businesses.... the rise in gas prices effectively killed businesses that had been around for 30 years in a matter of months...the good news is that the state has offered money for the reeducation of of many of the workers in these industries, the bad news is that even after they are retrained, there is no one hiring... our homeless shelters, food banks, etc are overwhelmed at the number of people in need... life is hard, harder than ever, but God is good.... that is just as true in CA as in IN, is in not? There is hope....blessings,ken
