Homelessness is a housing crisis that affects thousands of poor working people and those with disabilities, mental illness and addiction who cannot afford a place to live. The discussion will explore how faith-based and community groups can put their values into action and effectively work to end homelessness. Panelists include representatives from HomeStart<http://homestart.org/>, Church of the Covenant<http://www.cotcbos.org/> in Boston, and the Massachusetts Housing and Shelter Alliance<http://www.mhsa.net/>. The panel will also feature a formerly homeless individual who will share his firsthand perspective of homeless and the importance of housing.
