| My state newspaper has two articles on "Myths About Homelessness" that I would like to share. |
|
Part 1: http://new.bangordailynews.com/2011/04/01/health/myths-... / Part 2: http://new.bangordailynews.com/2011/04/08/health/myths-... / Some very good facts in there, including a few I was unaware of. Definitely worth taking the time to read or to send along to anyone who needs to be made aware of this subject.
