Have you ever been homeless in the Bangor area? We want to hear your story.

In recent years, the number of people who are homeless has risen across the country and throughout Maine, including in the Bangor area.

As the Bangor Daily News continues to report on how it’s impacting individuals and communities, we want to hear from people who have experienced homelessness during their lives — whether they’ve found housing or not. By learning about your experiences, we hope to help people better understand the issue and offer stories that could potentially be useful for others.

We won’t publish anything you submit without your permission, and we will only use your contact info to follow up with you for a future story.
