Cities Deal With a Surge in Shanty Towns

As a reporter brought up in Obama's Presidential Address the other night, shanty towns have been making a reappearance over the past several months. The number of homeless people is growing rapidly and states not only have to figure out how to get these people re-employed but also make sure that they have a safe living environment. Fresno, California has roughly 2,000 homeless people living there right now - and for a city of 500,000 that's a lot. City and state officials are hoping that Obama's recovery plan will help eliminate the need to live like this and get families and veterans back in their own homes.
