"A growing number of cities are using the national Community Voice Program, designed to connect homeless individuals to potential employers, social-service agencies, and family, the Associated Press reported Sept. 8.

The program, which was established in 1991, offers free voice mail to homeless people and others without phones. Individuals receive a phone number and a voice mailbox where they can record their own message. They can check their voice mail at any time from a regular or pay phone. The service costs the providing agency about $7 per number per month."
