I hope people will follow his experiences being homeless.
This touches home for me (pun intended) because I could easily have wound up homeless without the safety net of my parents. I have told my story repeatedly on Talk of the Villages so I will not bore you with it but just touch on the highlights of being painted as mentally ill after putting up a rigorous and very well documented fight to be honest about my interest in doing something about a glaring niche in the access to practical information for survivors/victims of crimes. I discovered this niche the last weekend of February 1976 in libraries in Reno where I was looking for practical information about victims/survivors rights and whatever else I could find after the murder of Michelle Mitchell in Reno, Nevada. Michelle was murdered on my birthday of 2-24. ( The case was re-opened a few months ago
http://www.rgj.com/story/news/crime/...-case/2140206/ ). I got four degrees after this but checked in all the institutions I attended or visited to see what they had from the eyes of someone personally affected by violent or other crimes. I rarely found much of any real practical value and started writing everyone I could think of to help address this problem while also talking about the danger of putting advocates mental health at issue when you do not like the content of their ideas. I tried to get public health and other medical professionals involved after talking about this effort while a subject (613) at the University of California San Francisco Health Campus study on stress on the unemployed over 17 weeks in late 1992-1993 with interviewer Myra Young. I was basically kicked out of Law Librarianship starting the Summer of 1991 at the New Orleans Law Librarian convention for challenging powerful people about how instead of addressing the issue of this niche in practical information they attacking me personally by putting my credibility at issue when all you really needed to do is check their libraries' holdings to see I was being honest. I still see a problem with many libraries' holdings with respect to practical information for victims/survivors of crimes but with the Internet and Google and other search engines it is a lot easy now to just find this kind of information from your computer, cell phone, Facebook friends, etc.
