28

People in May

There is a homeless problem in Troy.

So far in May, 28 homeless men, women, and children have required services to assist them. They aren’t asking for much — a simple meal and a warm place to stay for the night. How many aren’t being served?

While some may disagree, the homeless situation isn't getting any better. Individuals and families are routinely being turned away from much-needed help because of a lack of resources.

While there are many organizations and agencies in place to assist our citizens, more is needed.

The number shouldn't be 28 — it should be zero.
