For years, a Phoenix nonprofit has run a mail room for thousands of homeless people, who use the address for job applications, for medication, to receive benefits like food stamp cards and even to vote.

Now the U.S. Postal Service is cutting its $24,000 investment, leaving the organization to raise the extra money to keep it open.

U.S. Postal Service Cuts Funding for a Phoenix Mail Room Assisting Homeless People

The loss of support comes at a time of uncertainty for one of Arizona’s largest homeless services providers as the Trump administration calls for reducing and restructuring homelessness assistance grants.

@ProPublica I'm sure the same billionaires that are "stepping up" with funding for military pay and the Epstein Ballroom will also pick up the check for this

But, hey, we have $300 mln for a golden ballroom. So not all is bad.

If you're homeless, for some reason, you can't get a PO Box at the local post office. For that, you need a physical address. I've never understood that one.
