Question

What are some Actions Taken to address Social Problems with the homeless population and their drug addictions?

Answer 1

Actions taken to address Social Problems with the homeless population and their drug addictions are the efforts of the 19 Robert Wood Johnson Foundation-Pew Memorial Trust Health Care for the Homeless projects, as they represent a targeted approach for providing health care services to homeless people. Congress has passed and the President signed into law the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act (P.L. 100-77), which provides new funding for a range of services, including general health and mental health care, in an effort to help the homeless (U.S. Congress, House, 1987).
