Subcommittee on the Homeless

Please email John Barrett and the Subcommittee on the Homeless at lsnahs@gmail.com with your experiences and thoughts relating to the homeless situation in the Logan Square-Parkway neighborhood.

Please also make donations to help the homeless, not to panhandlers. Giving change to people on the street usually only helps keep them there by feeding addiction and preventing them from seeking needed assistance. Instead, please make donations to organizations that provide real help by providing shelter, food, medical services, drug and alcohol treatment, and job training. Please visit [www.MakeRealChange.Org] to learn how you can contribute in a way that is productive.
