I am an artist/activist in the areas of peace, homelessness and the environment. I believe we can make a difference if we focus on ONE fundamental human value: "Do unto others as you would they do unto you".
In my interaction with the homeless over the past 20 or so years, I have concluded it is not enough to just provide food and temporary shelter (although those are important first steps). We must go further and create opportunities for homeless people to live in permanent affordable housing, where they can regain self-esteem and work to re-build their broken lives.
I understand we have a long way to go before we can provide permanent affordable housing for ALL the homeless, but with the will of the people and the Grace of God, I believe we will succeed.
Please do what you can to help us reach our goal of providing affordable housing for ALL the homeless in America!
Thank you and God Bless You!
