In Houston, Housing Affordability Helps Reduce Homelessness
Vanessa Brown Calder and Jordan GygiRecent Cato research finds that “Housing First” policies have been unable to reduce or mitigate a rise in the chronically homeless population inUtah andCalifornia. Home prices have risen dramatically in both states, and providing permanent housing to the homeless population has proven increasingly difficult. Given Utah and California ’s disappointing results, Houston, Texas, poses somewhat of a mystery: it appears to have substantially and successfully reduced homeless numbers since adopting the philosophy in 2011.Houston is part of a Continuum of Care (CoC) known asThe Way Hom...

His inspiration to start the program came from his son, who is visually i...

Sunday Sermonette: Nope, never happened
The Book of Kings does tell us that Asa became king of Judah, and that he eliminated shrines to foreign gods. However, contrary to what we read below in Chronicles 14:3, 1 Kings: 15 says "Although he did not remove the high places, Asa ’s heart was fully committed to theLord all his life. "The Book of Kings entirely omits the succeeding story about the invasion by Zerah and the great battle. The Cushite kingdom is traditionally associated with Ethiopia, and the KJV identifies Zerah as Ethiopian, but the NIV translators don ' t tell us where they think he came from. It is of course inconceivable that anyone in ...

Fighting the Wrong (Culture) War
By KIM BELLARD
News flash from the culture wars: they’re coming to take our gas stoves!
Well, actually, “they” are not, but the kind of people who got alarmed about it are a threat to our health, and to theirs.

He was referring to the well known but little acknowledged fact that gas stoves emit various pollutants, especially nitrogen dioxide. Last ye...

Evidence Calls “Housing First” Homelessness Strategy into Question
Vanessa Brown Calder and Jordan GygiLast month, the Biden administration unveileda new federal plan to address homelessness, with the goal of reducing homelessness 25 percent by 2025.
