Brian,

The Health and Homelessness piece sounds great, is it up on the net
somewhere that we could read it and point to it?  Or is there some way to
get a copy?

Often when we speak as poor people it help to have the support of pieces
such as this one to support our stories beyond just he individual.

Have many people looked at social and economic rights as part of the answer
to addressing a commitment to policies that ensure access to the basic
prerequisites of health?

Thanks,
