Description
Cathy Crowe always wanted to be a nurse but she never planned to be a Street Nurse, a title she continues to use to evoke the horror of homelessness. Here she brings readers the voices of ten homeless activists advocating for change. These are brave, charismatic, intelligent and determined individuals, many of whom have lived on the street for over a decade. Crowe's experience has taught her that the only thing homeless people have in common is being forced to live in conditions of poverty. It is her first-hand experience with the disgrace of homelessness that turned her into a housing advocate. * With an expansive section on practical solutions for homelessness.
