Social Programs & Services Social Programs and Services: Reasonable levels

Social Programs and Services: Reasonable levels of welfare benefits for the unemployed poor, the working poor, and the incapacitated would be required to make a significant dent in the numbers of the disadvantaged who are homeless. This means food stamps, AFDC, housing subsidies, and disability benefits which are adequate to support the basic needs for food and housing. Cutting benefits and reducing eligibility cannot solve the problem when opportunities for self-sufficiency are absent, and when the volunteer and charitable programs in the private sector are insufficient. Society must provide an adequate "safety net."
