Boston Globe reporter Chris Reidy notes that the situation will improve only when there are comprehensive programs that address the many needs of thehomeless. AS Edward Zlotkowski, director of community service at Bentley College in Massachusetts, puts it, “There has to be coordination of programs. What we need is a package deal.”
