ben carson, the secretary of housing and urban development., thank you. elizabeth: what is the trump administration's plan on homelessness in california? we keep hearing it could be ready for the president's review in coming weeks. >> yes, well, obviously we want to have a situation where we have cooperation between the federal, state, local governments, as well as the nonprofits, the for profits, the faith-based organizations, so, you know, that's the ideal situation. we have been talking to all of those various entities. and we have to talk about both the acute phase and the chronic phase and recognize that you have a whole host of different kinds of reasons for people to be homeless. you have those who are drug addicted. you have those who have mental problems. you have those who have fallen on hard times because of a job or family illness, divorce. and so obviously one solution does not fit all of them. but we do know that we have some health hazard issues that are going on because of the fact that we're leaving people on the streets. ther

ben carson. great to see you, sir.his time during the holidays when so many people are charitable across this country, a lot of attention paid to the homeless crisis. your recent reports show a ..7% rise -- a 2.7% increase across the country. but that's largely driven by california's increase of 16%. my first question is the human capital. the cost. and these are lives, not just numbers. what does that mean to you? >> well, you know, i have been to california a number of times, and i have seen those people. first of all, i recognize across the country, if you take the other 49 states and average it out, homelessness is going down. there is enough an increase in california, 16.4% to drive the entire equation up by 2.7%. it tells you how significant the problem is. you have so many people on the street who are just miserable. you look at them. they have lost hope. we have to realize. these are fellow american citizens. in many cases they are people who are incapable of taking care of thems themselves. in other cases they

" it talks about how it uses housing choice vouchers to help low income, elderly and disabled with private housing and money that eventually goes to public housing agencies, and those pha 's are allowed to give preference to the homeless. so to say it is not the responsibility of the federal government, that's not what the federal government's own website says and there is an issue there for ben carson with those comments. >> there is an issue. he's trying to i think make us switch and we saw what president trump then said was well look if the governors would ask nicely then maybe we would increase section 8 and the way section 8 works is the federal government gives money to the states to make up the difference between fair market-rates and what a low income
