The U.S. is Experiencing a Homeless Crisis from Coast to Coast | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

According to the US Government Accountability Office, each $100 rise in median rent is associated with a 9% increase in homelessness. With the average rent price increasing by almost $250 over the past 2 years, it should be no surprise that the US is experiencing a homelessness crisis from coast to coast. The problem is forcing some organizations to take innovative measures to address the problem head on. One such charity is the Catholic Action Center in Lexington, Kentucky. The cofounder and president of the organization, Ginny Ramsey, joins to explain how they address homelessness in the community. She shares whether the numbers given by the US Government Accountability Office match what they are seeing in Lexington and the surrounding areas. There is always a stigma around homelessness, people assuming the cause is drugs and alcohol or just "bad decisions". Ramsey discusses how much of an effect she is seeing inflation play in causing homelessness right now. She tells us about the proactive steps her organization is taking to not only meet the demand of those experiencing homelessness, but also to get ahead of the problem. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
