There is a common misconception that homelessness is an issue that

only pertains to single men and women, but in reality thousands offamilies a year will experience homelessness. In fact, 41% of the

homeless population is comprised of families. (National Alliance to

End Homelessness). Homelessness is a devastating experience for

families. It disrupts essentially every aspect of family life;

often damaging the physical and emotional health of family

members. In addition , homelessness and poverty interferes withmany childrens education and development. The problem of family

homelessness is not solely restricted to urban areas; rural and

suburban communities are increasingly plagued by the problem.

President Obama recently addressed this vital issue when he stated

It is not acceptable for children and families to be without a roof

over their heads in a country as wealthy as ours. (Press Conference,Feb. 2009).If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to

email me.
