Chronically homeless means constantly homeless; it means repeatedly homeless.
We have come dangerously close to accepting the homeless situation as a problem that we just can't solve.
These bullets will not stop, and this decision was made in such a narrow sense and on such a technical (legal) basis that it does not preclude the next group from coming forward on another (legal) basis and challenging the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands again.
