Ending Homelessness
________________________________________________________________

Homelessness Hurts

United Way, together with LAASH (Lewiston-Auburn Alliance
for Services for the Homeless), has launched a 10 Year
Plan to End Homelessness in Lewiston/Auburn. 

On any given night, 100 people in our community are looking
for a place to call home.  They are not visible to the general
public.  They are hidden in apartments where they move from
one friend's couch to another, or in shelters, or in cars and
campgrounds in the summer.  Some of the homeless are
immigrants and refugees.  Some are victims of domestic
violence.  Some are single adults -- many of whom have
mental illness.  Some are veterans.  Some are children.
