These numbers are staggering. In fact. this cut represents the first reduction in the homeless program since 1989. What bothers me most about this cut in homeless funding is the impact of this cut coupled with others that are coming down the pike. Over the past 25 years the construction of the interstate highway system. immigration and migration trends. the shift from manufacturing to service and knowledgebased industries. and the flight of the middle class have weakened our cities. Poverty is growing and becoming more concentrated. Twentyfive years ago 3.8 million people lived in the poorest neighborhoods in our largest 94 cities.
