John over at Social Design Notes reminded me of this cool project to give the homeless voicemail accounts, so they have some way of being contacted for jobs, potential housing, medical appointments and the like. Good stuff.

Emmaus, a charity in France, have taken this one step further by giving internet space to the homeless, allowing them to create web sites and have free e-mail accounts. Like the voicemail, this enables them to keep in touch with family, friends + assist with searching for jobs..... See here for more...
