Scarecrow Man Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 The US Labor Department has launched a website for homeless people, but has not explained how they think anyone who needs it can see it.According to the Labor Department press release the site is geared to help homeless people find work, training etc as part of President George Bush's election pledge to end chronic homelessness within ten years.Cynics are probably wondering who the site is actually targeted at. Homeless people are probably the most disadvantaged people in the digital divide. While a couple have famously managed to scratch together a website from donations and by working from libraries, most do not have any form of internet access. However if there are any reading, the site is here.http://releases.usnewswire.com/GetRelease....id=139-07202004 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moon Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 Even without means of access, if I were a homeless American person I'd be grateful knowing that there was a website to help me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 Oh Dear!How long before it's here? Are the homeless to be given a free government issue Sony Vaio to be able to use this facility? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moon Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 If I were a homeless British person would I be able to access Maggie's Memoirs on my Sony Vaio ? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
