We all can agree. Homelessness is a national crisis.
Most people who live or work in any large American city bear witness to it, including many residents of Rogers Park who often feel besieged by panhandlers at their local grocery stores and transit stops and are witnessing their beautiful local parks slowly transition into campgrounds for the homeless.
We need to remember, however, that behind every panhandler and tent dweller is a human being who has a story to tell.
