Along these same lines of homelessness and housing inequities. I landed on a document, put out some years ago about the city's quiet program of getting out of the housing business. ALl of this was part of the implosion of the high rise city apartments. That the new plan was to have few or no city owned public housing, but to provide vouchers for people to fend for themselves in the private sector. I am thinking that the rapid rise of street people was also seen during this period of getting out of the housing business. Below is the site. I would like to hear others opinion on the article.

Abell reports are a fantastic way to examine some of the very entrenched, yet solvable problems Baltimore faces.

It’s worth reading their recent report on the RAD Program, which is part of the city’s long-term strategy to reduce its high-rise public housing stock.
