A democrat-run city has managed to solved its homeless crisis with nonprofits that have worked together to obtain one-bedroom apartments for vagrants.
Houston, Texas has gone on to create one of their ‘most important innovations’ – the Coalition for the Homeless, along with exploiting the city’s loose planning regulations.
The independent agency, known as The Way Home, co-ordinates with 100 nonprofits to combat homelessness under a collective effort in the city.

Well, “solved” might be an overstatement. I’m not sure that it can be “solved” without addressing the drug addiction and mental illness that seems to be at the root of the “problem”.
The reporting make it sound like “loose planning regulations” are the problem. Maybe it’s regulations in the first place that are the “problem”?
