The site was built using Microsoft Expression Web and makes liberal use of Dynamic Web Templates (DWT). Site navigation is entirely tied into these templates. Indeed, we would have to site-wide changes, but uncoupling pages from DWTs is not a challenge.
I have attached a sample page.

Extending a lifeline to homeless LGBT young adults</a></h3>
<p>On March 7, the New York City Council approved a package of bills
that would extend access to youth services and shelter to homeless young
adults, many of whom identify as LGBT. If Mayor de Blasio signs the
bills into law, New York City can set an example for cities across the
U.S. trying to patch up the cracks that homeless and runaway youth fall
into on the road to independent adulthood. </p>
<p>Studies have consistently shown that LGBT youth are at a heightened
risk of homelessness, in large part because their families have rejected
them because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. In surveys,
as many as 40 percent of runaway and homeless youth identify as LGBT.
</p>
<p>In early adulthood, something as simple as shelter can be
life-altering. Marcelle, a gay 21-year-old, pointed out that raising the
age for services “would open so many doors – I could finish school
instead of urgently looking for housing, which is what I’m doing now.
It’s hard to finish the semester and look for housing, and to manage all
of it.”</p>
<p>Recognizing this unique vulnerability, LGBT advocates, community
centers, and service providers across the U.S. have mobilized to expand
LGBT-inclusive youth services. But many of these services end when young
people turn 18 or 21, cutting them off from services before they’re
equipped with the employment, housing, and financial stability to make
it on their own. </p>
<p>This winter, I spoke with homeless young adults in New York City who
have aged out of youth services and found themselves suddenly cut off
from crucial sources of support. They identified a wide range of
services – counseling, job training, internships, health care, sexuality
education, and many others – that they’d been able to get through youth
programs but were now unable to find. </p>
<p>Under the current law, New York City government funding can only be
used to provide support services for young people until they turn 21.
But few young adults are fully independent at that age, especially if
they have experienced homelessness. Maddox, a 21-year-old, told me, “We
have to deal with so much stuff, we didn’t have time to do things
teenagers normally do.”</p>
<p>When young people don’t have financial literacy, a chance to build
savings, or a steady job, it becomes difficult for them to find and keep
permanent housing. In the current system, Maddox said, “it seems like
they just want you to go from being a young homeless person to an older
homeless person.”</p>
<p>Even for youth who do not age out of services, support can be
limited. New York law allows youth to stay in crisis programs for up to
60 days and transitional independent living programs for up to 18
months. In many cases, that isn’t long enough for homeless LGBT youth to
make a plan and find alternatives. </p>
<p>Lex, a 24-year-old transgender man, was forced to leave home when he
began to act more masculine and his mother reacted with physical
violence. As he explained to me, adjusting to those circumstances can
take time. “Your family kicks you out, and all of a sudden, you only
have six months to get to where you need to be, you’re just getting into
emergency housing. It’s no time, really, to get acclimated.”</p>
<p>The consequences of being cut off can be devastating. Kay, a
24-year-old, told me a particularly painful story of a friend who aged
out of services last summer and had no place to go: “She had been with
her program long enough that she was getting stuff done, but she wasn’t
where she needed to be. And they abandoned her, the day before her
birthday. Nobody checked up on her, nobody asked how she was doing.”
Shortly after aging out of her housing, her friend was shot and killed
on the street.</p>
<p>Under the leadership of Corey Johnson, the New York City Council
speaker, the council approved a set of bills that address these issues
head on. One would allow city funding to be used to serve young people
up to age 25. Another would extend the length of time that young people
can stay in crisis programs and transitional independent living
programs. In addition to expanding services, a third would require the
city to create a system that will meet the needs of all homeless young
people.</p>
<p>These changes would benefit homeless young adults generally, but
they’re particularly important for those who identify as LGBT. Youth I
spoke with emphasized the stark difference between services that were
tailored for youth and adult shelters. Unlike LGBT-specific youth
resources like the Ali Forney Center here, many adult shelters serve a
general population. The young adults I interviewed described being
misgendered, harassed, and fearing physical and sexual assault from
residents who were often decades older than they are.</p>
<p>Mayor de Blasio can make a huge difference for the youth of New York,
and in particular for LGBT young people, by signing the youth services
bills into law. Leadership on this issue would encourage cities across
the country to take stock of the services they provide and see whether
they are doing enough to serve homeless young adults. For these young
people who face so many challenges, these services can make the
difference between falling back into homelessness and becoming an
independent adult.<br><br>By Ryan Thoreson</p>

Might be we just leave it as is as we have no experience of MVC, but HTTP Handlers.
