USA TODAY OP-ED ARTICLE

“SEATTLE — For the past 20 years, the Rev. Craig Rennebohm has spent at least three days a week walking the streets of this drizzly city. His mission? Helping the chronically homeless people everyone else bustles past. He shepherds people with mental illness to doctor appointments. He warms folks up with coffee at Starbucks. And, always, this United Church of Christ minister tries to get some of the 2,000-plus people ‘sleeping rough’ on any given night into housing. It’s slow going.” – from “Give Them Homes,” by Laura Vanderkam, in USA Today, April 29, 2008. To read the article, please click here and then scroll down to “Give Them Homes.”
