February 15, 2012: Mainely Homeless

Join us for the annual homelessness marathon. February is a tough month in Maine if you have no home or lack resources to heat your home. We'll be talking about the current state of homelessness and borderline homelessness in Maine.

The jobless recovery and increasing disparities in income and wealth in the United States press ever more people into homelessness or near homelessness. We'll talk with workers on the front lines providing crisis services and looking for long term solutions.

Join our dialogue at 10:00 AM as we discuss solutions to the challenge of homelessness.

We invite your calls and email with questions and comments.
