Homeless Voices
Homeless Voices is an innovative project aimed at breaking down
the misconceptions and predispositions about homeless people and
their lives. From its beginning in the summer of 2002, this project
has profiled the struggles and accomplishments of many homeless
New Yorkers, and is an ongoing endeavor, continuing to capture individual
perspectives.
The detailed client narratives from this project are beneficial
in our effort to educate and enlighten not only the public, but
politicians and legislators as well. They represent a rare, candid
look at the realities of the shelter system and the public assistance
maze, and expose the truth about the effects of public policy in
a distinctive way that could only be told in the client's own words.
