PUTNEY-Thank you for publishing Annie Pisgah Searsburg's thoughtful and informative piece. It is an issue that needs more attention and awareness!
There are opinions and viewpoints about homelessness, poverty, and disability that need to be addressed openly and frankly, especially when many of these are not only inaccurate, but they also continue to give energy to a disempowerment and discrimination.
Of the people who experience homelessness, 99.9% are no different from most of us. They are people trying to navigate the world the best they can through very difficult and challenging circumstances that many of us can't even imagine.
They are trying to hold their families together and hold a job, and they want to have a place to call home. They just want to experience feeling safe - safe from the elements, safe from discrimination, and safe from judgment. They want to feel valued and loved.
