李仕才
A
Gregory Talley used to sleep in a park or under a bridge. The 50-year-old has been
homeless for more than 10 years.
"It is hard. It's hard to live homeless. You filled every day trying to find out where
you are going to get something to eat. If I hadn't found wonderful Fairfax County
Kennedy Shelter, I wouldn't know where I would be by now. I might be dead," Talley
said.
The Kennedy Shelter is one of the facilities New Hope Housing provides for homeless
people.
Pam Michell has devoted her life to making the lives of this vulnerable (易受伤的)population better as executive director of the non-profit organization.
"I went to Africa in 1985. And I saw a huge amount of poverty, but I saw so much hope.
And I decided that I should try to do something that would bring hope to people," Michell
said.
When Michell began working with New Hope Housing 25 years ago, its three shelters
had about 80 beds. Now, it has 350 beds and serves about 1,500 homeless people every
year. She has expanded the program beyond just providing beds for the night.
"We do outreach(拓展), we do prevention, we do permanent housing, we do transitional
housing. We have an education program with all sorts of different things to move people
to end their homelessness," she said,"Our Out of Poverty program is not just about
money. It's about you could be spiritually poor, you could be relationship poor ...
you could be educationally poor. So it is focusing on how you get out of this poverty
that has brought you to being homeless." The program tries to teach the shelter
residents self-reliance (自立) and work values, and includes courses on planning and
personal responsibility.
"l learned I still have opportunities to change it and I can change it," said shelter
resident Lewis Webster. "It is just about going forth in doing necessary work to do
it. I mean if you really want better, you would do better and that's the frame of mind
of me now."
