Sobre IBD

Government, civic organizations, and religion (the church) all play a major part in finding ways to help the plight of the homeless. This is displayed on a daily basis by so many who are constantly doing their part through service, financial giving, and voluntary work.

We take a look at the successes and challenges that this age-old problem of finding ways to help the homeless, stranded, and down-and-out.
