In developed countries as well as in underdeveloped countries, the scandal of homelessness continues, because of housing policies, greed and lack of compassion.
“The Church sharing the joy and hope, the grief and anguish of the people of our time, especially those who are poor or affected in any way, feels it has a serious obligation to join with those who are working… to find concrete and urgent solutions to the housing problem and to see that the homeless receive the necessary attention and concern on the part of public authorities.” ﹣Pope Paul II, Letter to Pontifical Commission Justitia et Pax, December 8, 1987
