The poor (and the homeless) will always be with you. I guarantee that in 10 years the county will have the same homeless rate. And Simitian, Cortez, Chavez, and Loving will have moved on top bigger and better jobs, leaving us with a $2 Billion tab to pay over the next 40 years (oh yeah, it's not not $950M once you add in interest and fees). What a waste of money with no accountability.

And now if you will read my comments on the prior article today, you will see why I am moving to Reno , Nevada....
YES..10 yrs down the road, the above comment will ring loud and clear. Look at LBJ's "War On Poverty" from the 60s..Now more homeless, food stamps,
Why do we pay millions for people who can either move on to lesser economic areas, get education, get a job, etc. The bleeding hearts that passed this measure will bleed money forever.

Salt Lake City reduced its homeless population by over 90% by putting housing first, followed by support services.

I have been unemployed 9 years, my payroll and unemployment was embezzled when I worked for Symantec, I have been homeless living in my car 8 years, how is the Measure A money being spent to help the homeless living in encampments, none that I have spoken to haven't even been offered a hotel voucher so they can take a bath and have some privacy one or two nights a week, I think a audit should be done, and see how many people placed in housing are really homeless.
