The North American Homeless News Network (NAHNN) is back!: nahnn.blogspot.com

The North American Homeless News Network (NAHNN) is an effort to provide notice of news items, columns and other information available online concerning homelessness and related matters in a central location.

Featured on NAHNN as well will be a selection of original articles, columns, essays and poetry written by people who are homeless or formerly homeless.

NAHNN has no paid staff.
