October 18th is Homeless Awareness Day Tragically today, a decent, safe and affordable home is out of reach for far too many working Americans. More than 15 million low-income families struggle to pay rent, live in run down housing or are homeless. Moreover, many economic analysts project that most Americans are one to three months away from homelessness. All across the nation there is a movement gaining momentum to end homelessness in ten years. Fueled by the pervasiveness of homelessness, the complexity of the attendant issues and the financial constraints placed on already taxed social services delivery systems, initiatives have begun in communities throughout the United States to effectively address homelessness. In addition there is pending legislation on federal and state levels that will directly impact low income and homeless persons. Please join us for HOMELESS AWARENESS DAY, Friday, October 18, 2002 at Haven of Rest Ministries, 175 East Market Street, Akron, Ohio 44303 from 10:00 AM to Noon. This event is free and open to the public. For further information, please contact the Homeless Awareness and Education Program Coordinator at 330 253-3370, visit http://spot.acorn.net/housingnetwork/id27.htm, or e-mail .
