Editor's Notes
Many homeless are homeless because they lost their jobs, and havn’t been able to get back on their feet by themselves. By following the HOPE model of a non-profit organization, we could give them the necessary skills and teaching to support them in their return. Once they are taught how to return and given the support thye need, they should be able leave homelessness behind.
