In January, at least 29 homeless and ex-homeless people sent 322 posts to
Homeless People's Network.  I invite a-infos list members to pay us a visit
via the URLs above.

While only folks who've been homeless can post to HPN, anyone can read us.
Posts are *uncensored*, so debate is sometimes lively.

Posting patterns on HPN show that those of us who've been homeless, or are
now, share many common concerns - including systematic violations of our
*civil rights* in the USA and worldwide.

*Topics* we discussed on Homeless People's Network in January include:

I hope everyone who reads our HPN Archives finds information you can use.

If you are homeless or ex-homeless, and wish to join and post to HPN,
please write me, Tom, at <wgcp@earthlink.net>.

Thanks to all who support homeless people's rights to speak for ourselves
in the poor people's movement and where policies are made that affect us.

Seeking peaceful means to homeless people's aims.--Tom Boland, HPN listowner
