when i was hungry, you fed me, when i was homeless you sheltered me. the list goes on. when i was imprisoned you visited me. that's my favorite one because it's probably one of the harder ones that most people haven't experienced doing. but also, the gospel of matthew is frequently said in certain versions of the gospel in other ways. when i was hungry, you did not feed me. >> that's the version i cited. >> when i was homeless you did not how's me. when i was sick you did not minister my needs. when i was in prison you did not visit me. the list goes on. so it's more of an indictment of what we did not do when we have the opportunity to minister to the needs of god's creation. to minister to the needs of d's creation, is a word of worship. that reading, when you did not -- when you did not. similarly for the good samaritan. the parable of the good samaritan. so that is applicable today. so in terms the of process, the chairman -- our distinguished leader spelled out very clearly that we had a very open process with scores of hearings, accepting so many amendments. turni

>> ninan: nearly 600,000 americans are homeless. many have health problems and no access to care. in boston, a nationally renowned team of street doctors is doing something about it. jim axelrod paid a visit to the doctor in charge. >> how are you, by the way? you're here. >> reporter: it's friday morning in boston, which means dr. jim o'connell is making his rounds. >> so what are we going to do for you? what's up today? >> reporter: he might be a little more comfortable inside a warm examing room, but that's not where his patients are. o'connell is boston's only doctor left still making house calls to the homeless. >> anything changed since last night? i feel like i'm a country doctor in the middle of the city. >> reporter: o'connell was a 30-year-old medical student at harvard when he passed up an oncology fellowship for a qoon-year position heading up a new nonprofit called boston health care for the homeless. one year turned into a career. >> started to realize i'm just a doctor and what i can do is get to know you and ease you

how about homelessness?und new york city, i think homelessness is worse. >> greg: you know under de blasio. >> kimberly: the original big bird. >> juan: they do away with all efforts. i'm thinking to myself, give me a rationale for what you're doing. don't just go slashing. think it through, give me a chance to support you, president trump. >> greg: homelessness so bad in new york under a liberal mayor. >> juan: go to san francisco, salt lake city. some cities just attract homeless people. >> kimberly: or bad manners. -- bad mayors. >> eric: taking it further by making threats against the first lady. that disgusting story next. what makes this simple salad the best simple salad ever? heart healthy california walnuts. the best simple veggie dish ever? heart healthy california walnuts. the best simple dinner ever? heart healthy california walnuts. great tasting, heart healthy california walnuts. so simple. get the recipes at walnuts.org. juswho own them,ople every business is different. but every one of those

which tries to help homeless people get job training and work actually in a catering business. i mean, there's a lot of attempts both privately funded and still through city programs to alleviate the problem of homelessness. but, you know, as bad as it is here in d.c., you know, it's a public disgrace. and in berkeley, you know, a city far richer than richmond, you go to the bottom of gilman down the intersection of interstate 580 or 80, and there are people living under the underpass, you know? dozens of them, hundreds of them. so it's a wider than richmond problem, and it's going to take a much more concerted effort by progressive leaders in a number of these cities, the state doing more and, ultimately, we can get beyond the trump era, the federal government as well. in the meantime, a lot of people are going to be suffering needlessly when so much more could be done with relatively few resources. but those don't seem to be available to provide the kind of housing that would get people out of tents and from under tarps and all the other people where they're holed up out in w

we have a crisis in homelessness.we have a crisis when it comes to specifically within that homelessness crisis, family housing crisis. family homeless crisis. why are we only doing 25% affordable at that site? i hear people come in from every single one of our districts come in and say and members are sitting in the audience, why are we not doing 100% affordable? why are we not doing 100% affordable at this site. we own this site. so there's smarter people in this room than me when it comes to financing. i would like to hear has there been a full analysis. can we do 1500 mission street using participation or other financing sources? where's the money going to pay for to pay the additional rent on the lease back options they have for three years and after the to years they go market rate. so we have to worry about having to go market rate the last two years in those buildings we currently occupy. at the end of the day, can we affirm that there's nothing in this deal that says they have to build anything on 30 van ness

there's only $1 million in there for the homeless programs.nd so, where your budget is, that's where your heart is. and so, the bulk of the money, no question about it, has economic-development opportunities, but most of it, which is in the i-95 corridor, south philadelphia area, and you still are totally -- if you go to north philadelphia, you still see the fact that you've got a vietnam there with the housing and the infrastructure and everything else is in incredibly poor shape. and if i had the opportunity for the budget, i would go to the neediest community -- and the neediest community happens to be in north central philadelphia. and so, i'm in the minority in terms of thinking that the budget really has some benefits economically but doesn't have any real benefits for the needy community. >> you don't see it trickling down, with creating jobs and rising the lifestyle of everyone up? >> well, the only way you're gonna create jobs is with the unions. >> no. >> and minorities have had a very difficult time getting into most of the unions i

and sam dodge and the department of homelessness is not just the brick-and-mortar of building homes but relationship building ones individuals are isolated it is gets worse when you have pathways creating not just through job training and moving forward with a lot more people to be introduced to many agencies that also care about what is happening on the streets for people where that is public works or the department of homelessness fix it teams our police department all working together with a office of economic workforce development development groups working together with people on the streets sailing let's do something about ourselves then and let's get the private-public relationship to work for us not just talk us this is what is happening in my mind so as you may know i'm a big enough of them about making sure we change with the happening in 3478d and more importantly the center is changing lives transformative programs like downtown streets is what we're talking about that touches people and involves them and respects them and connects urban design i up with project homeless

homeless advocates want to make sure that homeless people aren't overlooked.the work has been on helping tenants who lost so very much. so entire homeless encampments were destroyed there. city officials say they're focused on getting people back in the tents but rather getting those folks into permanent housing. >> one time assistance may not necessarily be the right tool to help someone who is chronically homeless and was just negatively impacted by this flood as well. >>> in his weekly address the president continued to push the plan saying replacing the conferredable care act is -- affordable care act is an urgent necessity. >> families and small businesses who right now are right now being crushed by obamacare. >> conservative republicans want tougher changes and insurance requirements and medicaid and say they'll oppose the gop bill if it isn't reworked. today he's heading to kentucky to rally support for the health care overhaul. >>> federal judge in seattle says he isn't ready to rule on the travel ban. he says that motion or a complaint over the revis
