    Statement on Grants to Projects Aiding the Homeless
    December 29, 1994

        It is imperative that we not turn our backs on the Nation's
    homeless. The number of homeless families and young people suffering
    from abuse and neglect continues to rise. It is my hope that these
    grants will help those who need our help the most. I am also pleased
    that AmeriCorps members will be engaged in the struggle to end
    homelessness. This is an example of national service at its best.

    Note: This statement was included in a White House statement announcing
    the award of grants to projects aiding the homeless.
