#2 In auto's?

Our South Side Assoc. is seeing more and more seniors on the streets and camping in wooded areas.

Having sat down and spoken with a few actual homeless that we have helped, and not the increasingly common $$$ grabing pan-handelers.

I have learned a number are drawing Social Sec. and few even have modest retirement checsk coming in. But their income COLA did not keep up with DC Swamp inflationary spending.

Given the way the DC Swamp is handling this, a person could get the idea DC has writen off the seniors.

Like many we are doing what we can to help.
