The Homeless Memorial Blanket Project will display handmade blankets and quilts at Maine Mall in South Portland, Tuesday, April 22. The display highlights the link between homelessness and domestic violence.
This is one of many events planned for the Housing NOW! National Day of Action organized by National Coalition for the Homeless. The blankets on display were created by artisans from Maine, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Massachusetts.
Organizers of the blanket display, partnering with Through These Doors, said that escaping domestic violence is a primary cause of homelessness for women.
