Don, the news said Houston will be used as a standard for other cities. That's awesome. Our mayor, Annise Parker, put the idea together.

This is great, but I do have a few questions. How do they "vet" these vets?

Also, it has been my experience that governments often play around with numbers to make them look better. I truly hope that isn't happening here but I'm still suspicious.

Sgt Douchesneau, while I do agree that one homeless veteran is too many, so is one homeless person. However, the "statistics" are not confirmed on how many homeless truly are the veterans some claim to be. Most veterans with provable status can get help and care and have helped several myself. Several others who claimed to be veterans clearly were not, although they were presenting themselves as vets, wearing old uniforms.

There is also a class of homeless vets that are mentally unstable. When they are on meds, they are fine. Problem is (as I have it from one of them) that the meds bury their brains in the mud. So they stop taking them.
