Two were featured in previous issues of the e-News<br \/>\nBulletin: a Career Expo in San Antonio, Texas, and a Housing &#038;<br \/>\nEmployment Resources Expo (HERE) in Houston, Texas. Mr. Benefield<br \/>\nco-authored a manuscript, soon to be published as a UNTWISE Brief,<br \/>\ndescribing his work in the Ft.
