City announces plans for homelessness money

City hall announced this week how it’s distributing $50 million over two years toward easing the homelessness crisis. This was money already promised in the budget.

Reading this piece, my cynicism kicks in. People will be hired and paid and every so often announcements will be made to the press, but two years from now, there will be more tents along Notre‑Dame East than there are today. Anyone want to bet against?
