23,808 homeless people in Iowa

I was reading the Quad Cities times online and found this story about homeless people in Iowa.

The report was done by the Iowa Institute for Community Alliances found there were 23,808 homeless people in the state and 15,351 people classified as “at risk” to become homeless during 2009.

Apparently there are 23,808 homeless people in Iowa. My idea? Setup more homeless shelters. Or setup some more campgrounds and offer everybody a free tent. If they had some bathrooms, showers, maybe it could help people get on their feet. Except in the winter time… I don’t think camping would work that great. Good luck to those people and I hope the numbers decrease next year. Throw in a free suit and tie and maybe that’ll help them with job interviews.
