hope that as your considering the budget and into the future you considering not only the hesitating pa act but the road map to end family homelessness by the coalition of homelessness and others this is am important issue if we don't address it the children that are traumatized by the homelessness with going to be end up on the street. >> good morning, everyone. brighten with the housing lines i alliance i'm here to support of the hesitating pa i don't know what is wrong with me today, i'm so full the gratitude i wish i could open up my heart i get teary about the help but thank you for the help and i want to specifically call out trent the staff at dos and the malice they've been incredible
