Column on homeless a helpful acknowledgement

I want to thank Edward Delp for his column on homelessness (“War on the homeless” Feb. 8). His issues confront a problem most people want to ignore. I hope he had been able to reach the hearts and minds of many. Many people who are homeless do have jobs, but they do not make enough to pay any rent. No one can predict how their life unfolds, and many homeless, when asked, never dreamed they would be in this condition. Each time I see a homeless person, I remind myself that but for the grace of God that could easily be me.\nDebbie Friend\nMulberry, Ind.
