In @WSJOpinion, our Chairman Lou Gerstner highlights the role short-term financial assistance can play in the fight against #homelessness. Gerstner funds, coupled with our partners' case management expertise, have helped over 22,000 households stabilize during a time of crisis.
Shelters nationwide face an unprecedented influx of homeless people seeking help. The best way to help is by preventing homelessness in the first place, writes Louis V. Gerstner Jr.
