=========================================================================== Statement by Press Secretary Dana Perino =========================================================================== For Immediate Release Office of the Press Secretary October 20, 2008 Statement by Press Secretary Dana Perino ÿÿWhite House News Today, the Interagency Council on Homelessness conducted its final meeting under this Administration. President Bush appreciates the work of Council Director Philip Mangano and the members of his Cabinet who invested the time and energy to make its work a success. Back in 2002, the Bush Administration revitalized the battle against chronic homelessness by regularly bringing together Cabinet Secretaries and other top officials from 20 Federal agencies in a position to help Americans living on the streets. This effort increased Federal resources by 60 percent, created national partnerships with mayors, county executives, governors, and the private sector, and encouraged results-oriented solutions. And results are what we got. Thanks to comprehensive new data from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, we know that over the latest three years the number of chronically homeless individuals in the U.S. tumbled 30 percent -- from 175,914 to 123,833. And the number of homeless persons of all sorts fell from 763,010 to 671,888. U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness executive director Philip Mangano notes that this is "the largest documented decrease in homelessness in our nation's history." All Americans want to see the numbers of chronically homeless continue to decline, and the policies we have implemented should help in that regard for many years. # # # =========================================================================== Return to this article at: http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2008/10/20081020-11.html* Origin: (1:3634/12) SEEN-BY: 10/1 3 14/250 34/999 120/228 123/500 140/1 222/2 226/0 236/150 SEEN-BY: 249/303 250/306 261/20 38 100 1381 1404 1406 1418 266/1413 280/1027 SEEN-BY: 320/119 396/45 633/260 267 285 712/848 800/432 801/161 189 2222/700 SEEN-BY: 2320/100 105 200 2905/0 @PATH: 3634/12 123/500 261/38 633/260 267 |
