		<description><![CDATA[Many of my posts about homelessness carry the theme that the primary reason there is homelessness is because no one cares. Well, that&#8217;s not true. Many people do care. And the more that care, the closer we get to ending homelessness and poverty in America. Following is a video of Jewel testifying before Congress on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a recent Huffington Post article, homelessness is up in NYC.  This article, and so many like it, are meaningless.  It&#8217;s called the numbers game, and it&#8217;s played where ever there&#8217;s a social issue, from crime stats to homelessness to drug use. The people who compile these statistics and the journalists who report them are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The reason homeless people suffer is not because they don&#8217;t have a home.  They suffer because they don&#8217;t have a voice. No one knows more about the limitations of words than writers.  We&#8211;and obviously I include myself&#8211;understand how words are often used as labels.  Being labeled &#8220;homeless&#8221; is like the classic Scarlet Letter.  Homeless people [...]]]></description>
