So I say, lets not leave it up to the government. Let's not leave it up to the big charities. Let's take care of the problem ourselves. Let's be responsible for one another. I know responsibility is a novel concept in these times but hear me out. The government and it's money is spent on the whims of an administration and/or a political party. Budgets are cut, regulations change and next thing you know a homeless program (or say adoption) program your running is out most of its money. And if you want to run a truly Catholic house of hospitality you're going to run into all sorts of Church and state crap you probably don't want to deal with. I'm not taking down my statue of the Virgin because it offends the government. Oh, does the crucifix in the dining room 'infringe on your religious freedom'? Tough.
Keep operations small and local. Take care of the community and the community will take care of you in return. See how they love each other.
I want to provide services to people that the government shouldn't be responsible for. If we all acted like Christians maybe our taxes wouldn't be so high. Perhaps?
