To the Editor:

"In New York, Having a Job, or 2, Doesn't Mean Having a Home" (front page, Sept. 18) points to the fact that certain homeless parents do indeed have prior work experience in well-paying jobs. But when you dig deeper, you learn that so many others worked in low-wage, no-opportunity positions, lacking the skills and the education to move them forward.

The real story here is a tale of two systems, one to give affordable, low-income housing or rental subsidies to the homeless working families who can best use those resources now and sustain them in the future, and the other to provide education and job-readiness training to parents who need them before they can find a good job and move into housing.

Both approaches should be readily adopted by shelters today with the vision and commitment from a new mayor.
