Finding
More Room For the Long-Term Homeless
Aired June

It's
estimated that 3,800 people in Northeast Ohio have been homeless
for at least one year. Housing advocates say if the long-term
homeless could find places to live, there would be more room in
emergency shelters, and the formerly homeless would find it easier
to again contribute to society. Housing advocates and the City
of Cleveland have been looking for a place to locate permanent
supportive housing facility, but have met with stiff opposition
from businesses and community groups. ideastream's Janet Babin
reports.
