About Us About Heather P eriodically I get emailed by people asking me why do I this and how did I become interested in homelessness as an issue. So I'll try to answer here, but if you have any more questions, feel free to email me. I do this because I feel that issues are interrelated.
Homelessness is linked to problems of domestic violence for example.
Being interested in change, I try to affect the different issues and recognize that touching one aspect also touches on others. I like the idea of this website because people can take just a few seconds out of their day to help others and if they want to become more involved they can. I hope the information on this site allows people to become involved with the issue of homelessness at the level they desire. I noticed homelessness as an issue initially when the number of homeless people increased during the 80s with some changes in public policy. After moving to the Bay Area in the late 90s, I saw more and more homeless people.
