SOME is a true success story. They have a number of residential places, etc. etc. but they have excellent community support especially in the area of medical, dental, etc.

The homeless may be given a 'free lunch' but ending homelessness is hardly a free lunch. It is very, very expensive as the homeless tend to have high medical, dental, mental, etc. needs. I doubt a Band-Aid approach would do much other then alleviate hunger and cold during the winter.

One of my other D.C. charities is a residential program for unwed mothers and their children. Again, another very, very worthwhile endeavor but not cheap.

I guess the bottom line is: If they do what they intend to do, then the benefit to society is great.
