...Clinton Administration has embraced a multi-pronged solution, pouring $6 billion into services like job training, mental health and drug counseling. These "continuum of care" programs show promise. After receiving such help, 76% of homeless families ended their homeless status, according to the HUD survey. Even some of the get-tough cities are absorbing elements of this model. Memphis, Tenn., and Portland, Ore., send counselors instead of police to deal with the homeless. And California is putting $10 million into a pilot program that gives the homeless long-term counseling to help them get back on their feet...
Further proof that timing is indeed everything came Wednesday for HUD Secretary Andrew Cuomo. Normally, the release of a federal report on homelessness merits some polite yawns and space on page 17A.

Around the world, word has spread that if you want to come to the U.S., the easiest point of entry is this barren reservation that cuts across both sides of the New York-Canada border...
There is no clearinghouse at the federal level. HUD, the Social Security Administration and the IRS are the most likely places to find missing assets. You'll have to write them with as much detail as possible on what may be missing. It's also a good idea to check with former employers for any wages or benefits still due you. It may amount to peanuts or nothing at all. But, as the New York Lotto ad goes, Hey, you never know...
