The face of Homeless
has changed.

For generations we have been told to help the homeless by giving them food and shelter.  Our ideas of homelessness invoke pictures of bag ladies and old bearded men standing in line at soup kitchens or waiting for shelter in a community gymnasium.  Homeless people can become community assets, rather than liabilities.  By offering the homeless opportunities - not handouts, respect - not pity, and empowerment -not control, we can enable the homeless to end their cycle of dependence and regain the dignity and self-sufficiency to which we are all entitled.
