Since the publication of Homeless Narratives & Pretreatment Pathways (Released 9/8/2010)… I’ve donated a total of $642.28 to the National Alliance to End Homelessness. A special thanks to everyone who has bought the book. It is your support that made the donation a reality!
Hi Jay,
Wonderful talk last evening! This morning’s Wall Street Journal has an article about homeless veterans in the editorial section. Makes your point about needing housing to support the services.
