Quotes from Governor Mitt Romney on Homelessness
“State government’s current system of coordinating homeless services is best described as a patchwork approach to the problem,” said Romney. He added, “The responsibility for administering the systems and programs that address homeless families and individuals is scattered throughout state government. There is an insufficient level of coordination resulting in a rising number of homeless people slipping through the cracks. We can do better.” Source: 02-14-2003 Press Release
