Gregory Talley used to sleep in a park or under a bridge.The 50yearold has been homeless for more than 10 years.
“It is hard.It's hard to live homeless.You filled every day trying to find out where you are going to get something to eat.If I hadn't found the wonderful Fairfax County Kennedy Shelter in Virginia,I wouldn't know where I would be by now.I might be dead,”Talley said.
The Kennedy Shelter is one of the facilities New Hope Housing provides for homeless people.
