One agency, (base) in Woodbridge, is expected (receive) $1.5 million. The agency director says that they will focus their resources on (educate) the homeless." We will probably build another school- home with this money, " he said. "A school- home is exactly it sounds like. It is a school and a home. We have already built four school-homes throughout the county. We get the homeless off the street, we educate them so they don't have to return to the street. We teach them how to be gardeners, painters, carpenters, bricklayers, electricians, and air-conditioning repairmen.
"You wouldn't believe success that we have had. In fact, a couple of weeks ago, our office air-conditioning went out. My secretary called a repairman. To our surprise, the repairman (be) one of our first homeless students. He now owns his own air- conditioning business, plus two houses, two cars and a boat! He has a dozen employees. He's doing better than I am. He fixed our air-conditioning free. I think I might sign up for the air-conditioning class (I). "
