We are all connected
Jan. 3rd, 2018 10:11 pmSo this is my New Year's Resolution: Talk to the homeless. Ask if it would be okay if I call 311 for them.
For anyone who is also struggling with what to do about the homeless, the Coalition for the Homeless has a Resource Guide for What to Do If…. Take a look, find out who to contact for Homeless Services in your city, and donate if you feel you can.
I'm still struggling with what I should do, but indifference is death, especially on a night like tonight.
ETA: In New Jersey, it appears the number to call is 211, but it's unclear. It seems like they'll just give you contact information for shelters. It doesn't look like we have a centralized helpline like NYC's 311. If anyone has better information for who to contact for homeless services in Jersey City, please let me know.
