[humanser] the homeless blind

[JD Townsend]

Shalom David:

I worked with homeless peoples in New York City for many years during the 
late 1980's and early 1990's, running programs to house homeless mentally 
ill and/or substance addicted populations.  I did work with some deaf folks, 
some wheelchair folks, and with a variety of disabled homeless folks;  but, 
never a blind person.  Until your message the lack of blind homeless never 
struck me.  Where were they?  I did know of many blind folks who rented a 
room in someone's apartment, living off a SSI or SSD check;  however they 
never seem to have made it to the homeless shelters.

Now you've done it, given me something new to wonder about!
