QUESTION 2

From looking at the posted articles on our blog my perception of Columbia's complete inability to address the issue of homelessness has been swayed a little bit. Yes there are several dozen health care organizations that do help aid these people in need. But then so again are there in every other major city in America. In fact most of these organizations only exist due to personal donations. The small numbers of organizations we have to help fund the homeless clearly indicates that the wealth of our state is low, perhaps in addition to our generosity. This only confirms that the government should take a more proactive role in deal with the homeless in cities like Columbia across America. Yes the website obviously advertises the fact that the government has take a role in the issue, but these groups need more money to be taken seriously. I think that the idea that the website brings forth is outstanding, but the support behind the vision can definitely use some work.
