Hello All!
Our current economy makes for a lot of difficulties, but non-profits offer many resources that can help individuals who are job less or without a home with the proper information and where to go to receive it. This article that I found is a true life story about a man who was laid off from his job. He now has a job and gives back by volunteering for various non-profit organizations. Many individuals today lose their jobs and as a result have become homeless. A statistic from National Alliance to End Homelessness says that 1.5 million people will be made homeless over the next few years due to the recession. This article is very fitting for the month because on October 29th, 2010, Denver's Road Home, Project Homeless Connect. It will be located our the Auraria Campus, our campus this Fall. It is not too late to sign up to volunteer or to receive services for PHC.
