  More Seniors Are Living in Cars

  What a great idea, to bad we can't get the VA and the government to do that.  Although to their credit they have a fairly good program that helps a lucky few pay their rent.

  More Seniors Are Living in Cars

  I work with the senior homeless population daily and a Social Security check of around $650 to $700 is very common. Most senior housing, where they pay only the 30% of income, have a waiting list of at least 6 month to a year most more then that.
  As far as the man needing "to get rid of some of his stuff", he has already lost his home, how many of us at that age would want to get rid of all the memories and things and start over?
  Just some food for thought.
