Thank you for your consideration of this important topic.With the shortage of workers and the shortage of affordable housing, this does not seem to be the best time to cut off the Homeless Program from seeking solutions. We would like the Iowa Finance to continue looking for ways to meet the homelessness problem in Iowa. It affects our veteran and our mentally ill. Why does this bill change the focus of the Homeless Task Force?We are registered against this bill because of the change in the focus of the group.
