Our economy has put many of our most vulnerable citizens, our elderly, at risk of homelessness. Millions of seniors who have fought wars, paid taxes and mortgages only to find themselves victims of our flagging economy. The cost-of-living in America is out of control.
* 655,000 Homeless in USA
* 138,098 Homeless Seniors
* 35,574 Homeless Veterans
Inflation has shattered many seniors' retirement plans and has severely cut into the incomes of millions of older Americans who have already retired. Our older Americans are being affected at a time in their lives when it is virtually impossible to recover.
The Federal Assets Sales and Transfer Act of 2016 requires the federal government to make unused properties available to help the homeless.
The federal government owns around 80,000 buildings that are underutilized or not used at all.
Why aren’t they being used to house the homeless? A complex process and bureaucratic requirements make it nearly impossible to do so.
