On Monday, Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson appeared on Fox News with host David Webb to speak about homelessness. Carson stated of the homeless, “Some people say it’s compassionate just to let them do anything they want to do. That’s not compassionate at all. What’s compassionate is helping people who cannot take care of themselves manage. And If we can get them into the right setting so they’re getting proper medications and counseling, many of them become quite functional at that point.”
Carson noted that if California is excluded from the number of homeless people in the United States and one takes an average of the number of homeless people around the nation, homeless is dropping.
