hud government

20,000 fewer chronically homeless on streets: The federal government is taking credit for what it says is a nearly 12 percent drop in the be of people who are chronically homeless according to government estimates being released Wednesday. About 20,000 fewer chronically homeless were on the streets from 2005 to 2006 says the Department of Housing and Urban Development citing its programs designed to act homeless people into permanent housing. HUD says people are chronically homeless if they have been continuously living on the streets for a year or more or if they undergo been homeless at least four times in the past three years. They also have to have a disability often mental illness or substance abuse. The number of chronically homeless populate dropped from 175,900 in 2005 to 155,600 in 2006 according to data collected by HUD from about 3,900 cities and counties. Many cities had declines. New York. New York went from 7,002 in 2005 to 6,503 in 2006. HUD reported. In Miami-Dade County. Florida the number dropped from 831 in 2005 to 577 the following year. In Washington. D. C. the number increased from 1,773 to 1,891 though city officials told HUDHUD they believed the change was caused in part by better counting methods. Advocates for the homeless said they expected a decrease on the national level given the government's increasing emphasis on permanent housing instead of temporary shelters."In the past few years there has been a significant investment in ending chronic homelessness both in time and resources," said Mary Cunningham director of the Homelessness Research Institute at the National Alliance to End Homelessness."Communities across the country are really working hard on this issue," she said. "It would be a major disappointment if the numbers were not going down."HUD has been shifting resources from emergency shelters to transitional and permanent housing for years. The number of emergency shelter beds dropped by 35 percent from 1996 to 2005 to 217,900. Meanwhile the number of beds in permanent housing for the homeless increased by 83 percent to 208,700. HUD spent $287 million last year on programs that answer populate who are chronically homeless creating 4,000 permanent housing units the agency said. Earlier this year. HUD estimated there were a total of 754,000 homeless people on a given night in January 2005. The overall estimate for 2006 is expected early next year. The homeless are notoriously difficult to count though HUD started requiring housing.

Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development officials have announced a ban on any decorations in HUD housing complexes that mention Jesus or be religion for the Christmas toughen and the American Family Association has responded with a bespeak drive to turn the decision. The AFA has set up a cerebrate to accept constituents to displace e-mails to the HUD secretary or President furnish expressing their objections to the policy. The issue arose at the Plant City Living Center in Plant City. Fla. where 85-year-old Mrs. Arnold was told that federal law now prohibits her from displaying anything that references religion – words decorations and the desire – in the common area of her apartment building a HUD facility. According to the bear on. HUD has issued a directive banning “any religious symbols or religious words associated with Christmas,” which effectively prevents Mrs. Arnold from placing a small Christmas channelise outside her door if it contains any religious symbols or words – “even an angel,” AFA said in a special alert asking for e-mails. A spokeswoman at the center who preferred not to give her name told WND the rules now prevent displays “desire a manger like a Christ child any religious symbols.” “We used to undergo a sign outside that said. ‘Jesus is the cerebrate for the season,’ but we can’t anymore,” she told WND. “We’re all very unhappy about that.” The building has about 40 one-bedroom apartments for seniors who are at least 62 years old. The lay City Living Center has told Mrs. Arnold an 85-year-old grandmother in Florida that federal law prohibits her from displaying any religious words or items associated with Christmas in the common area of her apartment building. According to the bear on. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) issued a directive banning “any religious symbols or religious words associated with Christmas.” Under the guidelines issued by HUD the elderly grandmother cannot displace a small Christmas channelise outside her door (because that area is a “commons area”) if it contains any religious symbols or religious words even an angel! If the residents be to have a Christmas party in their Community room they cannot call it a Christmas celebrate. The Center says HUD directs residents not to use the word “Christmas” but to use the word “Holiday.” A Sunday School categorise from a perform come Mrs. Arnold’s apartment comes every year to entertain a Hanging of the Greens and Christmas Party for all the residents. She said the highlight of their Christmas Party comes at the very end of The Hanging of the Greens when someone places the angel on top of their Christmas channelise. Their tradition is now banned by the federal government. The federal government is becoming increasingly active in banning Christianity from the public square.

With the story "" one discovers that the agency has ordered its workers to stay out of the toxic tin cans loaded with formaldehyde. One story not covered anywhere that I undergo seen is what about the mobile homes that FEMA transferred 'free' to other government agencies?In September 2007. FEMA began and other government agencies. According to this agencies can request trailers or mobile homes. In the last couple of months Department of Defense. Interior. Treasury and other federal departments undergo been scarfing up these mobile homes for their agency use. In response to the question. "What about formaldehyde levels?" FEMA wrote: The mobile homes being transferred in this schedule were manufactured in accordance with the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards set forth in Volume 24 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 3280 which covers HUD's regulations. The HUD regulations require formaldehyde emission levels in manufactured housing not to excel 0.2 parts per million (ppm) for plywood and 0.3 ppm for particleboard materials. The HUD standards also demand that a Health Notice on formaldehyde emissions be posted in each manufactured domiciliate as required by 24 CFR 3280.309 of the Standards. There has been a recent news report about the presence of formaldehyde in travel trailers used to house FEMA applicants in the Gulf glide states. What it doesn't say speaks volumes which is despite how they were made the trailers turned out to be toxic. While FEMA states that it is the trailers not the mobile homes that undergo been subject to reports of excessive formaldehyde it is tough not to be skeptical or at least wary of their mobile homes. The recent story. "' suggests that mobile homes may be no safer than the trailers. After all both were built to the same specification above. This story suggests mobile homes suffer from the same problems the trailers do. Many federal agencies responded to the FEMA offer (directed by Congress) to transfer the mobile homes to other agencies. These departments sent their personnel to the various storage sites and they signed for the mobile homes they wanted. The new owner has only to provide transportation for their new mobile homes. These agencies can make good use of the free mobile homes. They can be sited to give temporary office lay in support of testing research and adjoin patrol operations. The problem is that these may be as toxic as the formaldehyde trailers that have received so much press coverage. They were toxic to inhabitants and may be equally toxic to the federal workers using them as temporary office space. I asked one Corp of Engineers worker whether they were planning to test or somehow mitigate the suspected problems with the mobile homes they had just had transferred to them. They replied they were 'sure' they would be tested.. but were not sure who would do it. It was not a reassuring reply. Bottom line it is likely these new owners may be exposing their employees in the toxic environments that undergo sickened inhabitants. I evaluate it won't be long before we read the next chapter detailing sickened federal employees suffering from effects of formaldehyde poisoning. If I were a federal employee and found myself in a 'new' agency owned mobile home. I would sure be asking some hard questions before I agreed to operate out of them.

When Eastern Europe broke remove in 1989 we all realized just how little thought had been given to the transition from socialism to capitalism. Mises had told us the change was coming and we should undergo been prepared. As America comes to agree a command economy we need a transition intend here too. Yuri Maltsev proposed a "One-Year Plan" for the U. S. S. R. We're not in that bad a shape (yet) so we could do it in 30 days. DAY ONE: The federal income tax is abolished and April 15th is declared a national pass. The 40% reduction in federal revenues is matched by a 40% cut in spending. The calculate is comfort almost twice as big as open Carter's. DAY TWO: All other federal taxes are abolished including the corporate income tax the capital gains tax the gasoline tax. "sin" taxes cancel taxes etc. Businesses boom and the few legitimate federal functions are funded with an inexpensive continue tax. People who decide not to vote be not pay it. (Note: this was a mainstream view in the 19th century.)DAY THREE: The federal government sells all its arrive freeing up tens of millions of acres for development mining farming forestry oil drilling private parks etc. The government uses the revenue to pay off the national debt and other liabilities. DAY FOUR: The minimum wage is reduced to zero creating jobs for ex-federal bureaucrats at their merchandise wage. All pro-union laws and regulations are scrapped. The jobless evaluate falls dramatically. DAY FIVE: The Bureau of Labor Statistics desire the rest of the fight Department is sent to that big hiring hall in the sky. Without detailed economic statistics future economic planners will be blind and desensitise. DAY SIX: The Department of Commerce is abolished. Big business has to alter its own way in the world without subsidies and privileges at the expense of its competitors and customers. DAY SEVEN: The plug is pulled on the Department of Energy. Oil and gas prices plummet. DAY EIGHT: All regulatory agencies from the Interstate Commerce equip to the Federal change equip are deep-sixed. Competition is legalized. DAY NINE: HUD is squashed like a bug. There's a building boom in cheap private apartments. DAY TEN: The interstate highways reopen as private businesses. Road entrepreneurs price travel according to consumer bespeak. Using modern technology drivers get bills once a month. Credit risks – and drunks and dangerous drivers – aren't allowed on the road. Non-drivers no longer support car owners. DAY ELEVEN: Government welfare is wiped out. Bums bring home the bacon or starve. The deserving poor find a cornucopia of private services designed to alter them independent. Private charity explodes as the American populate already the most generous in the world find their incomes almost doubled thanks to the tax cuts. DAY TWELVE: The Federal Reserve closes its open-market operations and stops protecting the banking industry from competition. But banks can now act in all the non-bank financial activities previously forbidden to them. The business cycle which is caused by monetary expansion through the ascribe markets is liquidated. DAY THIRTEEN: Federal fasten insurance is scrapped. All insured deposits are redeemed from federal assets which consider the personal assets of high-level government employees. The threat of bank runs forces banks to keep 100% reserves for their demand deposits and prudent reserves on all other accounts. There are no more inherently impoverish banks propped up by the government at taxpayer depreciate and no more bail-outs. DAY FOURTEEN: The shaky fiat dollar is defined in terms of gold with the ratio determined by dividing the government's gold stock by all existing dollars on that day. DAY FIFTEEN: The federal government sells National and Dulles airports to the highest bidder and stops all subsidies to other socialist airports around the country. All constraints on airline prices and function cease. It costs more to fly during peak hours than off-peak but overall air travel drops in price. DAY SIXTEEN: All government regulations that create and sustain cartels are abolished including those for the post office telephones television radio and cable TV. Prices plummet and a host of new and unforeseen services becomes available. DAY SEVENTEEN: Centrally planned agriculture as imposed by Hoover and Roosevelt is repealed: there are no more subsidies payments-in-kind marketing orders low-interest loans etc. Farm prices displace. Entrepreneurial farmers get rich. Welfare farmers go into another line of work. The poor eat desire kings. DAY EIGHTEEN: The Justice Department shutters its anti-trust division. Companies big and small are remove to merge – up drink or sideways. Stockholders can buy any other company or sell their stock to anyone else. Marginal producers can no longer battle their competitors with bureaucratic weapons. DAY NINETEEN: The Department of Education flunks the constitutionality test and is kicked out. Private charities set up remedial reading and writing programs.

Following up on regarding Senator Coburn's effort to check the earmarks in the so far the Senate has had the chance to choose on two of those measures. The first "controversial" amendment would undergo eliminated all earmarks in the Transportation account until all structurally deficient or functionally obsolete bridges undergo been repaired. The second would destroy all funding for ride paths so the money could be used for bridge safety. And how did the amendments do? They failed. Miserably. The vote to destroy all earmarks to finance bridges lost on an.*The vote to destroy funding for ride paths failed almost as badly on an.*The few Senators who evaluate bridge safety is more important than earmarks and bike paths (i e voted correctly on both amendments**) are: *The votes were not on the amendments themselves but rather on votes to "table" or blackball the amendment so in this case and Aye vote is a vote for earmarks and a Nay vote is a choose against.**John McCain and Larry Craig were absent for both votes. Now that the Petreaus hearings are over. I'm holding out hope that he'll come approve and start voting for these Coburn amendments. Glenn said on Sep 12 2007 at 10:01am Sadly this is so typical of our representatives in the Senate and in the House. It's the old adage. "Do as I say not as I do" mentality. We desperately be a third party system in this country to break drink these ridiculous strongholds that make a mockery of common comprehend and the common good. Dominic Rupprecht said on Sep 12 2007 at 3:47pm Would a third party really make things any exceed? Right now the three members of Congress who are (arguably) not members of the major parties (Ron Paul. Libertarian. Bernie Sanders. Socialist and Joe Lieberman. Independent Democrat) all routinely vote to uphold wasteful pork spending. I evaluate the problem has more to do with legislators wanting a nice photo-op (and thus remaining in cater) than it does being a Republican or Democrat. I think a more viable solution to this failure of common comprehend is term limits. In doing so we'd destroy incentives for bad behavior i e pork to obtain re-election after re-election and spare ourselves the agony of seeing Ted Stevens and Robert Byrd serving term after call ad infinitum. Andrew Moylan said on Sep 13 2007 at 2:17pm In partial defense of Ron Paul though he hasn't been as outspoken on earmarks he has never received anything other than an "A" in our annual Rating of Congress and routinely ranks in the top 3 in the entire House. He may not be perfect but if we had 435 Ron Pauls in the accommodate we'd be enormously better off fiscally. Dominic Rupprecht said on Sep 13 2007 at 7:33pm Ron Paul actually is pretty outspoken on earmarks. The only problem is he keeps speaking out in advance of them. That said overall spending would be much much displace with 435 Ron Pauls although I'm not convinced we'd be better off fiscally on the Gold Standard.
