According to a 2011 report released jointly by the VA and HUD, between October 1, 2008 and September 30, 2009 an estimated 136,334 military veterans nationwide spent at least one night in an emergency shelter or transitional housing program. Some studies have estimated that as much as 23% of the entire homeless population are veterans. With the recent economic downturn, the number of people needing help is on the increase.

Comment:
The Frazee Community Center in San Bernardina, California, is a microcosm of the poor and homeless in the whole United States of America. At a time when the rich are getting richer while the poor are getting poorer, the latter becomes a stark and naked indictment of our American culture and society as a whole. Considered one of the most beautiful cities and leading tourist attractions of America, San Diego City and County shares the plight of the poor and homeless people with those in San Bernardino Country. Most, if not all, these poor and homeless, are not poor and homeless by choice, but are victims of the avoidable circumstances if only those with more in life loosen up and open their eyes and hearts beyond their marble-laden and gated homes. This spirit of generosity and selflessness has been slowly but surely eroding during the past few decades all over the country.
