Unmentionables
"Life on the street can be dangerous. There is theft, often among our own (homeless). If you can imagine stealing from another who has so little. There is violence. This often accompanies theft. Violence against our brothers and sisters. There is sexual assault. Rape. Unfortunately, this is almost commonplace."
For the third episode of the Facing Homelessness podcast, Ann Nelson reads “Unmentionables” by Renee Rop.

Staying Clean
"When I was alone—sleeping alone in public, collecting dirt in layers and becoming more convinced that no one cared at all—my largest concern was cleanliness. I didn’t want to look homeless and dirty. I didn’t want to stink and repel people." —Matt Hoffman
