In January, HUD awarded $16.4 million to "support Indiana <br />homeless ". <br />In July of 2014, the news media reported that a "South Bend homeless tent city was <br />discovered and dismantled ", with an "estimated 10 to 15 campers" being displaced from an area <br />located one block north of the Center for the Homeless and two blocks south of the Hope Rescue <br />Mission. The "homemade cardboard huts" and tents "were virtually invisible ", being obscured by <br />overgrown vegetation. <br />In February of 2015, the news media reported that "homeless youth populations in Indiana, <br />and the United States, are on the rise. The National Center on Family Homelessness last year <br />reported an 8 percent increase in youth homelessness nationally; it estimated Indiana's youth <br />homeless population to be nearly 32,000 in 2012 -2013. That was up from about 30,000 the year <br />before... ", February 2, 2015 South Bend Tribune. <br />The City of South Bend, Indiana, is indeed a caring community as evidenced by its many <br />organizations which provide outreach services to those in need. The Center for the Homeless has <br />been in existence just south of the downtown for over 26 years and houses up to 275 each day, and <br />links those individuals to "programs, agencies and people who can help them break the cycle of <br />homelessness ". Some of their services include "therapy, addictions counseling, childcare, GED <br />prep, tutoring, job skills training, fitness classes, medical service..."
