Levy _x000D_ "This is one of the best guides I have read about working_x000D_ with the underserved and homeless. I wonder why all cities_x000D_ don't put it into place? How we approach our homeless_x000D_ can definitely make a difference. Sometimes it's not in the_x000D_ techniques, but in the attitude of the case manager."_x000D_ --Carol S.
