To Stop Homelessness, Stop Caricaturing it

This piece was originally published in the New York Daily News on October 4, 2022 Like most who experience homelessness, I never slept on the street, on a park bench, or in a cardboard box. I never pushed a shopping cart around full of my belongings or incoherently spoke out loud to myself in public..
