STEREOTYPES OF THE HOMELESS (e-mailed to us and reprinted here!)
"The stereotype that holds the most about homeless people is that there is a lot of mental illness, physical illness, and/or drug use among us. I have to agree.
When I lost my job and my apartment and had to go to a cold weather shelter, I was in a state of shock. Eventually I got into a Transitional living place but the conditions are terrible. I can't get used to the other people living there, many who are mentally ill. My health continues to get worse because of stress. If I had a car, I think I would do better living in it."

A Beautiful Blog By and For Homeless People !
Are you surprised to get to a blog by and for homeless people and see that it's PRETTY? When we planned this blog (actually we were thinking more in terms of a good old fashioned Underground Newspaper) we knew we wanted to portray the the transient but ever changing life of a homeless individual. Yes we do believe many of us will make it out of homelessness!
