Diane Nilan
Naperville, IL
For a quarter century, Diane Nilan, founder and president of HEAR US Inc., has worked with income and housing-challenged families and single adults.
Living out of her home/office RV since 2005, her 48 state, 80,000+-mile backroads cross-country journey has found her relentlessly chronicling poverty and homelessness, using film, especially the HEAR US award-winning production, “My Own Four Walls,” blogs, her book (Crossing the Line: Taking Steps to End Homelessness) and public appearances to give voice and visibility to homeless families and teens.
She’s excited about their soon-to-be completed documentary on homeless women, “on the edge” (working title).
HEAR US has several related projects. Check our website, www.hearus.us.

Diane commented on the petition |When the men of the church get their part of the house in order, i.e. the sexual abuse scandal, and when they demonstrate an understanding of and compassion for the poor, they might be in a better place to grasp the importance of women in the church. Then--a dialogue, not a dictatorship.
