Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from America Cares Act: Hearing of the Committee on Labor and Human Resources United States Senate One Hundred Third Congress First Session, July 21, 1993 The committee met, pursuant to notice, at 12:20 p.m., in room SD - 430, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Senator Jeff Bingaman, presiding. Present: Senator Bingaman. Opening Statement of Senator Bingaman Senator Bingaman. Let´s get started on our hearing on the homeless legislation. I want to thank everybody for being here, particularly the witnesses. This is a short hearing that we are wedging in between some other things because of all the other activity going on here the Congress, but I think it is an important hearing, because I do believe that the legislation that we have introduced, the America Cares Act, building on the Berkeley Cares program, is an important initiative for the whole country to concentrate its attention on. Let me just thank Senator Kennedy again for allowing us to have the hearing. This hearing is essential before we can take any action on the legislation, and that is why we were anxious to have it today. As some of you know, I first became interested in pursuing legislation like this after seeing a television story about Berkeley Cares which I think CNN was running on an airplane that I was flying across the country on. It seemed to me that what Berkeley was doing could be a model for what a lot of communities might be able to do to deal with the homeless problem. Accordingly, we tried to get more information on it. The people at Berkeley Cares were extremely helpful to us explaining the program and helping us to put together legislation, which we have now introduced. And I do think that we have the chance here to move ahead and have a very innovative program that Berkeley began spread to a lot of other communities. That is our hope. The way we have drafted this legislation, it is Senate bill 1190, sponsored by Senator Harkin, Senator Feinstein, and myself. It provides competitive grants up to $60,000 to each of 60 local organizations in 60 communities around the country to start programs similar to this. Each program would provide a 25 percent match in order to qualify for the grant. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
