pen house

There is an old adage that says, put your money where your mouth is. The people of San Francisco have a chance to take up this challenge. In an attempt to help solve the homeless problem the city has asked the people who have spare rooms to take in one of people who live on the streets. As the Bay Area continues to struggle under the weight of its homelessness crisis, officials and nonprofits are asking local residents to do more than hand out meals or donate spare change. They’re asking them to open up their homes. They are asking apartment owners to open their units and the government will pay the rent. There will be no employment records checked, no credit checks and no background checks just a rent check. Apartment owners are not going to be interested in that approach.
