The Inspirational Journey of a Once Homeless ‘Retiree’

Read the inspiring true story of a local man snatched from success to homelessness and back again. According to a report from the National Alliance to End Homelessness, the number of homeless senior citizens will rise by a third in the next ten years and jump 54 percent by 2050 -- unless something is done now to prevent the increase. Statistics show that 10 percent of seniors live below the poverty level, one million seniors (or 2.6 percent of people over 65) live in extreme poverty and more than 44,000 of them are currently homeless. www.endhomelessness.org
