U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Grants Nearly $315 Million to Address Unsheltered and Rural Homelessness

 

Today, HUD announced $315 Million in Special NOFO Competition Awards in approximately 30 states for 173 local homelessness programs across the U.S. These Special NOFO grants encourage coordinated planning among a variety of partners that include healthcare, Public Housing Agencies, other HUD-assisted housing providers, and people with lived experience. In the coming weeks, HUD will be awarding grants to an additional set of communities, as well as allocating housing vouchers to awarded communities.

At least where I come from, homeless people include many who are impoverished and/or have been evicted from their rented residence while, if not due to, suffering significant mental health tribulations.

It's additionally offensive that these people who cannot afford/maintain an official residence are, by extension, too poor to be permitted to practice what's frequently described with plenty platitudes as all citizens' right to vote in elections.   

Seemingly, some people can be considered disposable. Even to an otherwise democratic and relatively civilized nation, their worth(lessness) is measured basically by their 'productivity' or lack thereof. Those people may then begin perceiving themselves as worthless and accordingly live their daily lives more haphazardly.

Albeit perhaps on a subconscious level, a somewhat similar inhuman(e) devaluation is observable in external attitudes toward the daily civilian lives lost in protractedly devastating war zones and famine-stricken nations:

The latter's worth can/will be measured by its overabundance and/or the protracted conditions under which it suffers. Thus the loss of those lives can eventually receive meagre column inches buried in each day's news in the Developed World.
