Action Against Homelessness
2003-10-06
MCHC Guest Opinion October 1, 2003
Editor’s Note: With the costs of housing soaring, sometimes it takes only bad luck with employment or a recurrent health problem to put someone out on the street. It’s been hard to get politicians to stand up for the homeless since homeless people aren’t likely to be campaign donors and have historically lacked political clout. But surprisingly, the homeless are now organizing themselves to speak on their own behalf and to press for solutions to homelessness. The organizing effort in Boston is spearheaded by HEAT – the Homeless Emergency Action Taskforce. The following article was written for us by a member of HEAT. We think its valuable to listen to the voice of someone caught up in the problem of homelessness, and we appreciate Warren’s willingness to write. |
