Families with children comprise one of the fastest-growing segments of the homeless population today.
13% of Americans live in poverty, including one in five children, the highest rate in the industrialized world.
42% of homeless children are under the age of 6.
Almost 60% of Americans will spend at least one year below the poverty line at some point between ages 25 and 75.
There is no city or county anywhere in the United States where a worker making the minimum wage can afford a fair market rate one-bedroom apartment.
The cost of rent and utilities for a typical two-bedroom apartment has increased 35% in less than 10 years.
2 million additional American children will fall victim to the foreclosure crisis over the next two years.
But there is hope. Find out how you can get involved to make a difference in the lives of homeless families.
