Reid: Law, Politics and the Homeless LAW, POLITICS AND THE HOMELESS INEZ SMITH REID* I. INTRODUCTION The plight of the homeless is one of the most vexing social problems con- fronting policy makers in this country. So pervasive is this problem that it touched the 1984 presidential election, and prompted the incumbent president to make a promise concerning the establishment of a model facility for the homeless in Washington, D.C., a promise that became the subject of legal action in 1985.' Had the social problem of the homeless emerged publicly in the decade of the sixties, undoubtedly it would have been handled by President Lyndon John- son's "Great Society" and "War on Poverty," and perhaps even resolved in large measure by funding through programs such as Model Cities. Moreover, the plight of the homeless certainly would have captured the imagination and commanded the legal talents of dedicated poverty lawyers who were determined to establish a constitutional right to life, including the basics of human existence: food, shelter, and even medical care.
