On Saturday, June 27, 2009, my ministry partner, Audrie Keen and I, along with our friends Lavaughn and Lee, participated in an Americorps homeless camp cleanup. The camp we cleaned was one of several in an area that lies in the path of Greensboro’s Downtown Greenway. I recently learned, through an email from an Action Greensboro intern, that the greenway will “displace those living in this area.” Meaning that, if all goes according to plan, our homeless friends will soon be even homeless-er. Hmmm… Guess we need another plan then, don’t we?

A commenter shared that Bri, who blogs at the Girls Guide to Homelessness, has found love via the interwebs and Twitter! Her new beau, who lives an ocean away and who, like Bri, is a member of the ever-increasing working homeless population, recently arrived in California to visit Bri.

The Myrtle Beach City Council has placed serious restrictions on group that feed the homeless in city (public) parks. Church groups are currently feeding the homeless and hungry in obedience to their faith — weekly in one park and monthly in another. A new ordinance will require them to obtain a permit and restrict feedings to four times per year. The ordinance is a response to neighbors’ complaints, such as perceived safety issues for children in the park, and crimes alleged to have been committed by some of the homeless people in the parks. But those who serve the homeless point out that children are among those being fed (children and families are homeless, too), and that homeless people will be in the parks whether meals are served or not.
