My wish list to the president is that the Government keeps its promise to end homelessness by 2020. I believe that once homelessness and poverty ends in the nation’s capital it will end worldwide. In the District we have roughly 7,000 homelessness individuals who “cannot afford permanent housing” and live on the streets or in shelters. When we come up with a solution to end homelessness in Washington you can best believe all other great leaders will follow. This nation wasn’t found¬ed on being great because we settle for less or second-rate standards, this nation is great because we write the standards and create the solutions. The nation spends more when we settle for less or accept second-rate as a whole. Homelessness isn’t a policy issue it’s a moral issue. Let’s get in right first here in Washington so the rest of the world can following our lead…….
Thank you Mr. President.
