It’s been two years since Philadelphia declared that it had reduced veteran homelessness to “functional zero,” after housing some 1,300 veterans. But take a walk through the city and you can still find panhandlers holding signs claiming military service. So, is the program working? KYW's City Hall reporter Pat Loeb (@PatLoeb) joins Scroll Down this week to talk about Philadelphia's homeless vets. If you see a homeless veteran on the streets of Philadelphia, outreach wants to know. You can reach them at 215-232-1984.

Scroll Down is hosted and produced by Tom Rickert in the KYW Studies in Philadelphia. You can follow the show on Twitter: @ScrollDownKYW. And you can follow Tom: @teerick.
