Interesting article from Arizona Republic about homelessness in our state. We live in a nation of abundance and privilege; we should not have a growing population of homeless adults and children. It is a huge problem in our country not just at the local level. It is estimated annually that 2.3- 3.5 million people( 1/2 are children) are homeless in this country (National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty). Many are homeless due to domestic violence, unaddressed mental health issues, simply falling on hard times, and lack of affordable housing. As a society, how can we help? Solutions? The National Coalition for the Homeless suggests CARE. C- contribute ( money, food, clothing, etc.) A- advocate R- reach out (volunteer) E- educate For more information visit http://nationalhomeless.org Read the article http://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/mesa/2017/03/13/cities-churches-and-others-try-solve-homeless-problems-tempe-mesa/98821638/
