How many of you knew that Utah will likely end homelessness by the end of next year (2015). I was surprised to hear that, given how conservative the state appears on the surface. I jokingly shared the link on my facebook stating that Utah was a haven for socialism. Really, it was a money saving scheme, but hey socialism is socialism. Turns out that Utah did some research and found nearly a $5,000 savings in ER costs alone, when they outright gave apartments to homeless persons or families (http://www.nationswell.com/one-state-track-become-first-end-homelessness-2015/).

Homelessness
Photo by Deb Holman (Duluth, 12/13)
As we sit here in the midst of a deep freeze, last night it was around -10, tonight it will be around 0, and tomorrow it will again be around -10, all before the wind chill is taken into account, I want to talk about something that really bugs me. That is homelessness. This is about as good of time as any to sit down and discuss it.
