Sat, 28 June 2008 Caprice Morales is a voice of hope. A formerly homeless and formerly incarcerated mother, Caprice is now a leader at Chicago Coalition for the Homeless (CCH). In this episode, Caprice talks about her life, her work with CCH, and her commitment to social justice. Recently, Caprice helped CCH win significant victories in the FY 09 budget passed by the Illinois General Assembly.
