Who Is Helping the Homeless? Local, State, and Federal Responses
The Urban Institute
This article examines the sources of support for services for the homeless. It delineates the extensive role of the private sector in both funding and actually delivering shelter, meal, and other services for the homeless. It also indicates the extent to which certain states are providing financial support for homeless services, and the relation of new federal efforts through programs funded by the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act to state and private activities.
