Yes, there has. It’s not that hard, they just need houses. Which means they need a population that cares. So this is not a physical matter, it’s a spiritual matter. It’s a matter of the heart.

No, I'm just saying that you can't say that you solved homelessness when there are 4000 people homeless(in a country of 5m).
