    we still need to do more for the homeless teens though. it isn't right that they don't have anyway of getting a permanent safe shelter. most reasons they run away in the first is that their home environment is too stressful. I was in that boat, and we can use a lot more programs to help the homeless teenagers.

    Great article but I would add that it's not just Oregon that has a homeless issue. Our homeless outnumber the city residents on some of the neighborhood blocks! How sad is that?! cheers
