About

by Richard Brown on August 16, 2008

You and I, we believe in a basic principle that no one should be homeless in America.

You and I, we dream that one-day every citizen not only in New Jersey but also in every town and every city of this great country will have a place to call home.

You and I, we dream that one-day no child will have to go to sleep hungry and living on the streets of our great state.

You and I, we dream that one-day when our military veterans do return home they will not have to live homeless in the woods of New Jersey.

You and I know we must never be satisfied until no one is homeless in New Jersey.
