Florida gets $72 Million Grant for Homeless Shelters

This is good news for us here in Florida, In our town and this area, there are NO shelters for the homeless that I know of. Many of these people, live in the woods or forests and some sleep in cars and wherever they can. Many that I have seen, beg or search for food. Some go to the garbage bins and grab what is thrown out. I've seen it myself! May the Divine Mercy be in their souls, may we help these unfortunate people who are struggling to survive.
