As we wind down 2014 and prepare for the new year, the folks at Shelterforce would like to express our thanks to you—our readers and supporters. We’ve enjoyed connecting with you through Shelterforce in print and on the web, Rooflines, and our Shelterforce Weekly newsletter, and the discourse that’s come as a result. We’ve always benefitted from your insight, appreciate your perspective, and we're excited in 2015 to be a continued resource and sounding-board for community development.

Best wishes for a happy holiday season and peaceful New Year.

Thank you,

Shelterforce
