Headlines:
- Change Agent: Hilary Stern
- County says: only connect. As the city’s new sweeps policy begins, new funding and ideas for contacting and helping the “chronic” homeless are being aired. “The focus is on people who tend to get bumped around, who may get evicted or kicked out of a shelter,” says advocate Janna Wilson. Page 5
- Shanna Gorr, 18, beneath Pine St. near I-5 on Capitol Hill, the site of repeated sweeps by police and Dept. of Corrections work crews.
