For nearly 2,000 posts written or forwarded by homeless and ex-homelsss
people, see HOMELESS PEOPLE'S NETWORK ARCHIVES.

Hot topics in our dozen or so posts daily include: squatting, innovative
housing, the criminalization of poverty and difference, plus homeless
people's civil, economic and housing rights.

HPN is a small Internet discussion group for homeless and ex-homeless
people.  Many of us are also activists.  We hail from three continents and
seven nations.  Views vary widely on our uncensored list.

If you've been homeless or are now, I invite you to subscr_be.
