❌ Jobs alone don’t cover today’s rents

Today is #WorldHomelessnessDay. For 130+ years the Denver Rescue Mission has been providing services to the homeless in Denver and across the Front Range. Denver Rescue Mission's Dennis Van Kampen joined Marty Lenz and Jeana Gondek on Colorado's Morning News.

Is it a cruel but appropriate coincidence that #WorldMentalHealthDay and #WorldHomelessnessDay have both fallen on this date? These issues matter, and are linked. Give what you can to help: money, or your time. See @MindCharity, @YoungMindsUK, @Shelter and @centrepointuk for how.
@CovHousePrez Do you have someone to nominate for #WorldHomelessnessDay Award? It's due this Friday: http://bit.ly/1qfx0Od #thwayhomeHOU
