' THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA WASHINGTON. D.C. 20004 kRION BARRY. JR. MAYOR REMARKS OF MAYOR MARION BARRY, JR. PRESENTATION OF CHECK FROM COMIC RELIEF HOUSE OF RUTH 651 10TH STREET, N.E. FRIDAY, AUGUST 8, 1986 AT 2:30 P.M. GOOD AFTERNOON. FIRST LET ME SAY THAT IT IS JOINT EFFORTS LIKE THIS, BETWEEN THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND THE PRIVATE SECTOR, THAT HELP TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE HOMELESS. AS I HAVE SAID ON MANY OCCASIONS, WE IN THE GOVERNMENT CANNOT DO IT ALONE. AND, I SALUTE COMIC RELIEF FOR TAKING THE LEAD IN BUILDING PRIVATE SUPPORT IN THIS EFFORT. THE PROBLEM OF HOMELESSNESS IS NOT UNIQUE TO THE DISTRICT. ACCORDING TO A STUDY CONDUCTED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA LAST YEAR, APPROXIMATELY 6,500 PERSONS ARE HOMELESS IN WASHINGTON. AS IN OTHER CITIES, THE PRIMARY CAUSE OF HOMELESSNESS
