A Mom on a mission

The 2 YOUNG NOT TO HAVE A HOME website has been in operation since June of 2013. The site exists to provide resources and education about the devastating problem of homeless people all over in the world. The goal of this site is to list resources in every state & country. Let me know about the ones in your area and I will list them for free. Please give and volunteer at your favorite charity in your town. This site is to let everyone know what programs are out there and what people are doing to help. The National Alliance to end Homelessness estimates that during a year there are approximately 550 000 unaccompanied single youth and young adults up to age 24 who experience a homelessness episode of longer than one week. Approximately 380 000 of those youth are under the age of 18.You can t miss them when you walk around a city shapeless masses pressed up against buildings or into corners. Homeless people sleeping outside even now when the temperature is cold and dropping. The lucky ones preserve their body heat under a pile of blankets others make do with cardboard boxes or layers of clothes.Some die. About 700 a year in the United States. The solution seems obvious their lives would be saved if they slept in the warmth of a homeless shelter. But there aren t enough shelter beds to go around and some of the beds that do exist come with very unappealing strings attached www.2youngnottohaveahome.org
