• Answer:

  A lot of these come by networking so get in touch with the Atlanta Homeless task force and also go to www.ndvh.org and find the domestic violence shelter nearest you and start to become known as an activist and volunteer. This will help your resume greatly too as well as getting you lists of such organiztions. Go to www.thejobsite.org for state merrit jobs in this line and similar things. For general background soyou can talk knowledgably with people whom are hiring for jopbs related to homelessness go to http://caringhandsmin.tripod.com/id13.html http://ilovejesus.com/missions/a-caring-place/homeless.html www.homesforthehomeless.com www.naehcy.org www.nationalhomeless.org You might also volunteer to help overnight in a shelter so you have a real understanding of what goes on and what the need are;
