Dec 04 2012, 4:27 PM Two years ago, homelessness wasn't an issue in the Valley. At least, not publicly. "This time last year, nobody knew there were homeless in the woods," says Owen Rooney, an advocate for the homeless through River Outreach. But this fall, about 50 people, mostly from local churches, started talking about how to help these people, through the winter and beyond.
