Sisters of the road co-founder Genny Nelson will be launching the homeless charity’s new book, Voices From The Street—Truths About Homelessness From Sisters Of The Road, tonight at Powell’s on Burnside.
The book, based on 515 2-hour interviews with Portland’s homeless, seeks to challenge some of the myths about why people end up on the streets. For example, of 503 people that responded to a question about their income, only 9% said they received any income from panhandling.

Read more about the book here, or just show up at Powell’s on Burnside, 7.30pm.
