Mary Ellen Hombs was the Deputy Director of the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness,〔(HOMELESS NUMBERS UNCHANGED ), ''The Press Democrat'', April 22, 2005 ("Mary Ellen Hombs, deputy director of the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness, the umbrella for 20 federal agencies")〕 a governmental entity that is made up of the heads of various federal departments and agencies with the mission of developing a comprehensive federal approach to end homelessness. She served from 2003 to 2009.〔(THE COUNCIL SAYS GOODBYE TO DEPUTY DIRECTOR MARY ELLEN HOMBS ), ''The United States Interagency Council on Homelessness e-newsletter'', July 17, 2009〕 Hombs co-authored ''Homelessness in America: A Forced March to Nowhere'' with Mitch Snyder. She was an important member of the Community for Creative Non-Violence during the 1970s and 1980s, along with Snyder, Carol Fennelly, Harold Moss, and Lin Romano.〔(Protestors pitch tents near White House ), The Daily Courier, November 27, 1981〕 A 1981 Washington Post article featuring the efforts of Hombs, spoke of her sacrificing dreams of a career, marriage, or normal middle-class lifestyle in order to serve the Washington, D.C. homeless population seven days a week, three hundred and sixty-five days per year. Hombs stated her goal as convincing churches and the government to provide shelters enticing enough that “even the most isolated, the most hardened person could feel the desire to come out of the cold.” She assisted the CCNV by cooking meals to feed over six hundred people a day and helping run the organization’s Drop-In Center.〔Janisch, Rick and Robin J. Stein. “Pacifist Fights to Get Help for the Homeless.” The Washington Post. January 8, 1981.〕 In 1995, Mary Ellen Hombs donated her papers to the Special Collections Research Center of The George Washington University. The collection is composed of correspondence, reports, photographs, articles, flyers, and court documents, much of which is related to the work of the CCNV.〔(Guide to the Mary Ellen Hombs Papers, 1971-1986 ), Special Collections Research Center, Estelle and Melvin Gelman Library, The George Washington University〕 == Selected works == * ''AIDS Crisis in America: A Reference Handbook'' by Mary Ellen Hombs, Eric K.
