Chronic homelessness is a highly complex social problem of national importance. The problem has elicited a variety of societal and public policy responses over the years, concomitant with fluctuations in the economy and changes in the demographics of and attitudes toward poor and disenfranchised citizens. In recent decades, federal agencies, nonprofit organizations, and the philanthropic community have worked hard to develop and implement programs to solve the challenges of homelessness, and progress has been made. However, much more remains to be done. Importantly, the results of various efforts, and especially the efforts to reduce homelessness among veterans in recent years, have shown that the problem of homelessness can be successfully addressed. Although a number of programs have been developed to meet the needs of persons experiencing homelessness, this report focuses on one particular type of intervention: permanent supportive housing (PSH). Permanent Supportive Housing focuses on the impact of PSH on health care outcomes and its cost-effectiveness. The report also addresses policy and program barriers that affect the ability to bring the PSH and other housing models to scale to address housing and health care needs.

With the forgiveness of God, praying parents, and the love of a man with the walk of a modern-day Boaz, Genesis must learn that even in the midst of mess, God can work miracles.

With the discovery of life supporting worlds, people began to travel into space. Many of them were strong willed adventurers, independent minded, or simply desperate. The government of Earth continued to run the lives of millions of people through the iron handed control of the Navy. Instead of allowing the new worlds to build autonomy they held them with unbearable taxation and by stripping away their natural resources. Henry MacCauley James and a selected group of blockade runners, smugglers, cutthroats, ex-soldiers, and revolutionaries, join with an aging Earth Senator in a desperate scheme to bring freedom and independence to the new planets of known space.
