America’s homeless crisis has dramatically increased over the past decade because of an Obama-era policy that incorrectly implemented a “one size fits all solution,” says former CEO of Saint John’s homeless shelter, Michele Steeb.

In an interview with The Epoch Times’ “Crossroads“ program, Steeb, who is also the author of ”Answers Behind the Red Door: Battling the Homeless Epidemic,“ said Obama’s ”Housing First policy" had ultimately failed and led to an increase in the unsheltered population across the country.
