<p>Over $1.5 trillion dollars are spent each year across more than 100 federal programs designed to support Americans, and yet people continue to need assistance and poverty still exists. On today&#39;s episode of On the Corner of Homelessness &amp; Our Safety Net, hosts Joe Ader and Gwyn Griffith talk with Clarence H. Carter, commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Human Services and author of &quot;Our Net Has Holes in It,&quot; to discuss why this is the case and what we can do about it.
