This is exactly what I was thinking.

Why is it so hard for people to believe in second chances working out?
Clearly, if people are approved for this program and allowed subsidized housing, they have shown both a willingness and a capability to make a fresh start...not every homeless person out there is a drug addict, schizophrenic, alcoholic, violent mess. That's the generalization most people make, because it's the picture being painted.

And PETA? Please...don't even get me started !

Most people on HUD Housing have Kids & Dont that care of them.... Dont see how bring in problem dogs will help. Tho IF they want all they have to do is pay the PET Deposits!

In that case, I think the program should be given a fair chance (especially if PeTA is against it).
