Senators Point to D.C. as a Model to Combat Homelessness

Some U.S. Senators are pointing to D.C. as an example of how they think the country should fight homelessness and are pushing legislation that takes a similar approach in tackling the issue. The legislation is call the HEARTH Act or the Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing Act. It consolidates three Department of Housing programs and provides less support for overnight shelters and more for temporary supportive housing.
