Most recents (3)

Most Americans don't realize that at least 40% of homeless people have jobs.

When encampments are swept when folx are at work, the results are absolutely devastating.
People lose i.d.s, medicines, family heirlooms & artwork.
Sweeps even cause suicides!!

Stop the sweeps!!
See an encampment?
Either leave them alone, or help them by bringing them food, propane, blankets, water.
American policies re the #houseless are anti-human.

Since some have asked, here’s a THREAD highlighting the #housing/#homelessness coverage that earned @PressNH’s Dennis Joos Memorial Award.

I’ve pubbed 200+ stories since 2017, so this will be a sampling, including ones from the contest period.

This 15-part, multimedia-heavy series from @smgphoto and I kickstarted our coverage and many things.

(Note: It received 6 local, state, regional and national awards, inc. a @NENPA Publick Occurrences and a 1st place investigative award from @nnaonline.)

A few weeks later, as dialogue was building, a historic 14-day cold snap hit, endangering countless folks. The Seacoast’s 1st-ever emergency walk-in shelter was opened. @smgphoto and I reported there nearly every day. Here’s the Jan. 2018 day it ended.
