For Many Areas, Count Of Homeless Population Is Canceled, Or Delayed

By Pam Fessler • Jan 18, 2021

Every January, in the middle of the night, thousands of volunteers and outreach workers spread out across the country to count the nation's homeless population. They search highway underpasses, wooded areas, abandoned buildings and sidewalks to locate those who are living outside.

By Michel Martin • Jan 17, 2021

I was thinking about the inauguration this week. I've been a journalist a long time, which means I've been to more inaugurations than I can count. And I'm talking about the gamut — I'm talking county council to president. I'm talking boxed Pepperidge Farm cookie and coffee-urn affairs where you mix and mingle with the newly elected official's mom, to the not quite front-row tickets within arms length of famous people events, complete with fancy party invitations.

Pandemic Fuels Record Overdose Deaths

By editor • Jan 14, 2021
