Many libraries are providing e-mail access for the homeless. It is
possible to use schools (after hours) and community centers for
providing email access. Washington State and New York City are
examples of communities that are providing public access through
libraries. Homeless person have as much right as anyone else to use
PUBLIC facilities.

In one of the articles "voice mail for the homeless" was mentioned and
suggested. Isn't that a contradiction in terms. How will someone who is
homeless receive e-mail. Where s will they have access to a computer. Will
neighborhoods trust the homeless to use their computers. I wonder who will
pay for this service. I can't imagine having homeless people walking into a
school where there are young children to access their e-mail.
If they are to have access to e-mail will libraries welcome them with
open arms?
I can't picture the agencies which provide meals and lodging for the
homeless having e-mail capabilities????
