The truth is, we don't have a lot of people who are looking for work but can't find it. What we do have are a lot of people who are retired from the workforce and can't work. We have a lot of people who are too young to work. We have people who are stay at home parents. We have people who are disabled and unable to perform the types of jobs they might be qualified for. We have people who aren't qualified for the types of jobs available. We have people living in areas where there aren't many jobs who are unwilling or unable to relocate. And we have a LOT of people working for a paycheck that doesn't cover their basic needs.If you're a Liberal, the answer to a lot of those problems requires some form of government intervention. Social security. Education. Child tax credits or childcare allowances. Disability benefits. Job retraining and relocation programs. Higher minimum wage and a functional safety net.All of that stuff requires tax dollars. Which requires taxpayers. Which requires that a significant portion of our total population to be at work. Marco Rubio suggested recently that Americans need to have more kids. That is a silly solution, but at least recognizes the actual problem. We need more working taxpayers to support the aging population that can no longer work. It fixes the problem a few decades from now, but makes the problem worse in the meantime by adding children to the population who also consume government resources but cannot work. What we need is to increase the number of people who are prime working age, while not increasing those who cannot contribute to the labor pool.But at the root of this question is a misunderstanding of economics: there aren't a finite number of jobs in America. There are as many jobs in America as needed to meet demand. It's that simple.If we “import” more labor we will find ways to put people to work to meet the added demand. That's just the way markets work. At the very least, all of those new immigrants need places to live. That means more jobs as landlords or as builders and as real estate agents. They need food. That means more crops grown and sold, more truckers transporting that food, more grocery store clerks, more fast food employees, more business at the corner store, more waiters and chefs. They buy clothes from Target or Walmart or wherever else. They buy a car from the local car dealership, maybe even a Ford or Chevy, which means more work for American autoworkers and steelworkers. They ride trains and busses. They take Ubers. Every person added to the U.S. population increases, slightly, the demand for all of the goods and services that they consume. The added demand almost perfectly offsets the one job that they take, assuming they spend their paycheck on goods and services locally, because every dollar they earn gets spent.Look at it another way… the places in the U.S. that are mostly doing okay tend to be the ones where the population is growing. Population growth introduces new challenges in regards to housing policy and cost of living, but very rarely do we read headlines like “New York City job growth can't keep up with population growth". Such a thing is theoretically possible, but practically unheard of. As population grows, so does demand. As demand grows, so does production. As production grows, so does employment. What you do read about, fairly often, are towns dying out because their working age population is moving away. And those people are moving away to look for work… because there isn't enough local demand for the goods or services that they can produce.Our economy does have a whole bunch of genuine problems that need to be addressed. Immigrants aren't really one of them, and in fact they may be exactly the solution to a few of them.

In order to effectively approach homelessness, a community needs a clear, deliberate, and comprehensive strategy. In The Ten Essentials, the Alliance outlines the ten components necessary in a successful plan to end homelessness. The Ten Essentials covers the most important strategies for success: prevention, re-housing options, access to housing and services, and efficient use of data, among others.PlanDevise a plan of action. The Alliance’s Ten Year Plan to End Homelessness is a good place to start – a comprehensive, systematic approach to addressing the different facets of homelessness. While planning, it is important to have representatives and input from all the groups affected by this social issue: government officials, business leaders, community activists, and the like. Every solution starts with a plan.DataBefore moving forward, it’s imperative to fully understand the problem. With homelessness, that can be a tall order, as the social problem is influenced by the economy, geography, transportation, and a host of other elements. Luckily, most communities conduct a biannual point in time census and have a Homelessness Management Information System (HMIS), required by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). HMIS collects data about those who interact with the homeless assistance system, and this information can be helpful in understanding the homeless population better and addressing their specific needs.Emergency PreventionAs with most things, the most economical and efficient way to end homelessness is to prevent it from happening in the first place. Consider enacting programs and policies that will do just that. Many existing social programs connect vulnerable populations with emergency services, temporary cash assistance, and case management. Consider ways to integrate with these existing systems or adopt your own.Systems PreventionMany people who fall into homelessness do so after release from state-run institutions, including jail and the foster care system. Still others come to homelessness from mental health programs and other medical care facilities. By creating a clear path to housing from those institutions—in the form of case management, access to services, or housing assistance programs—we can reduce the role that state-run institutions play in creating homelessness.OutreachAn important role in ending homelessness is outreach to people experiencing homelessness. A key ingredient to this outreach is the ability to connect the homeless population to housing and services. When considering outreach efforts, it’s important to understand that many people living on the streets exhibit mental illness, substance addiction, and other negative behavior patterns. As such, it’s important to consider low-demand housing that does not mandate sobriety or treatment.Shorten HomelessnessA successful homeless assistance program not only works to end homelessness, but minimizes the length of stay in shelter and reduces repeat homeless episodes. In order to do this, assistance programs must align resources to ensure that families and individuals have access to the services necessary to achieve independence as quickly as possible. This often requires immediate access to housing, home-based case management, and incentives embedded into the homeless assistance system to promote these outcomes.Rapid Re-HousingNavigating the housing market, especially on behalf of clients with lower incomes and higher needs, is a difficult task. A successful homeless assistance program has housing staff that help with just that. Housing locators search local housing markets and build relationships with landlords. Successful program components include incentives to landlords to rent to homeless households, creative uses of housing vouchers and subsidies to help homeless individuals and families afford their rental unit, and links to resources to help clients maintain their housing.ServicesServices are actually more accessible than they sound – many of them already exist in the community. By and large, homeless individuals can access mainstream programs, including Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Medicaid, and other existing federal assistance programs. Connecting families and individuals exiting homelessness to these programs is imperative to ensuring their continued independence.Permanent HousingAt its root, homelessness is the result of the inability to afford and maintain housing. Remember that any plan to end homelessness must incorporate an investment in creating affordable housing. This includes supportive housing, which is permanent housing coupled with supportive services. This is often used for the chronically homeless population - that is, people experiencing long-term or repeated homelessness who also have mental or physical disabilities.IncomeIn order to maintain housing, people exiting homelessness must have income. Cash assistance programs are available through federal and state government, and career-based employment services can help formerly homeless people build the skills necessary to increase their income. Mainstream services, including the Workforce Investment Act, should be used for this purpose.
