Subject: Food Stamps and Homeless People
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The National Law Center on Homelessness & Poverty is interested in
compiling the
findings of local studies on homeless people's access to food stamps, ie
the
barriers homeless people face to receiving food stamps, or the impact of
welfare
reform changes in the food stamp program, especially the restrictions on
able
bodied adults without dependents, on homeless people. The purpose of the
compilation is to assist the advocacy efforts of national and local hunger
groups.
I would be most appreciative of any information list members might have
about
studies on food stamps and homeless people. Please reply to:

Thanks!
