Eric Sheptock, a homeless advocate in Washington, D.C., has been homeless off and on since 1994. Recently, he started a blog about homeless issues in D.C.
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 â” called On the Clock with Eric Sheptock â” 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. (NPR . . .)
