GOOD MORNING VIET…. AUSTIN!!  Just a little Robin Williams humor for you this November, may he rest in peace.  All jokes aside, this month the Challenger brings you stories from some of Austin’s local veterans who have been facing struggles with homelessness.  Read interviews with Homeless Vets In Austin as our featured online article for November, and as a bonus, we also offer you the hopeful and wise words of veteran Erroll Crawford in In My Life In Style.

We hope these stories and more will warm your heart this November.  If you’d like to help warm the hearts (and even the bellies) of the staff at the Challenger Newspaper which is entirely produced and distributed by Austin area folks also living on the streets and working to give themselves a leg up, then we welcome you to make a small donation and get more of the stories from those who live it, by clicking the download link for just $2.00.

As always, thanks for your support, and Happy Thanksgiving!
