“Homeless aren’t going away”
The federal government recently released a report stating that homelessness in Maryland is in decline. We here at Health Care for the Homeless know that this simply isn’t true. CEO Kevin Lindamood co-authored a letter to the editor in The Sun with Antonia K. Fasanelli of the Homeless Persons Representation Project, to set the record straight. We hope it will be helpful to you as you hear and respond to similar claims that homelessness is going away.
