Homeless Advocate Goes High Tech

Homeless advocate Eric Sheptock uses technology to get his message out. Though he’s homeless himself, he keeps a blog, a Facebook page and a Twitter account. Sheptock, who lives in Washington, D.C., says he wants to educate the public about what he and many others like him are up against.

He spends a lot of time in the city’s public libraries, where he gets free access to a computer. There he can check his e-mail account and write his blog ”” called On the Clock with Eric Sheptock ”” which has so far attracted hundreds of readers. He recently wrote about his concern that the homeless shelter he now lives in is in danger of closing.

Read or listen to it all and watch for the Episcopal Church reference toward the end.

    Having worked in homeless shelters and with the homeless, I am going to go out on a limb here:
    THIS STORY IS A CROCK OF YOU KNOW WHAT!
    How about if this clown put all this time and talent into finding a job and becoming a producing member of society? Which he would have to do if there was not an infinite gravy train from the government.
