One in 30 children in the United States will experience homelessness in some form this year.
One in 5 children suffer from food insecurities.
We continue to see a growing number of women and children living in homelessness. As fast we help get a family housed, another one takes their place.
In Mississippi, 23.9 % of young adults 18-25 and younger do not have a GED. In the homeless population, 90% did not graduate.
We must be intentional about the chances we give our children. If our children live day by day not knowing where they will eat or sleep, how can they possibly do well in school? We don't want to lose our children to gangs. We believe through aggressive case management, housing first, education and job skills, we can make a difference. Help us save the children.. Help us make a difference.
