Homeless white man, in a page about a shelter in New Jersey. There is no date for the photo, but the site was last updated in September 2002, so it would have had to be taken before that.

Image of a young homeless man. Date unknown. This is the cover image to a book which apparently contains 75 images of homeless people, captured by a photographer. The web site doesn't say where the photos were taken, only that they were taken during a year long period.... so at least before Jan 2005.

PT---Love the idea of this thread

http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/local/southflorida/sfl-pshooting23jan23,0,298198.story?coll=sfla-home-headlines


Here is an article about a homeless man, shot to death in palm beach, florida.
He worked for 30 yrs, had financal means to help out relatives, which he did. Yet, he seemed to chose this way of living.

Gives a good perspective of homeless as caring, kind wondeful people who survive outside the norm of society.

My thoughts and prayers for his loved ones.

This should be made a sticky so it doesn't get lost. PT, this is a great reference and could potentially help a lot of people.

Thanks Petra, just trying to find new ways to help.

Interesting story you posted... kinda shows why some people would choose the lifestyle... although most don't - it chooses them.

I agree that this is a great idea/thread. As most of you know, we are the 1st agency to seek the missing among the homeless with our Come Home program. As soon as I get time, I will carefully fo through this thread and I will also show it to my peers.

Thank you!

PT--you are right that it is unusual since he chose this lifestyle and most don't, found it interesting about constant contact with family.

CP--good idea about having this thread as a sticky.

Kellly--i need to get over to your board and red more about your work.

Wonder if Jerry Tang's friends, who are just so admirial have any additional info. Believe they have canvassed many groups in bay area looking for Jerry. It would be great if some of them would pop over to WS and share their wealth of talent. I am so impressed by them. I just wish Jerry would be found.

PLEASE HELP - IF YOU ARE AWARE OF A STREET LEVEL WEB CAM, WHERE PEOPLE ARE SEEN CLOSE ENOUGH TO RECOGNIZE, PLEASE POST THE LINK.

Note to viewers. These cams are usually set up in an area that is "touristy", very affluent areas or very scenic areas. Your missing person may not live there, but they may be working as a vendor? They could also be just "passing through"? You decide if a cam is worth monitoring.
