Today is #WorldHomelessDay, which aims to increase awareness of #homelessness as a global, solvable issue. For 30 years we have helped thousands of youth, giving them a sense of safety, hope, and belonging through housing support, mentoring, drop-in centers, and street outreach.
On #WorldHomelessDay, we challenge you to think about everything your family needs to survive & thrive. Those needs are the same for homeless families. Our goal is to #EndYouthHomelessness, but we can’t do it alone. Join us: https://t.co/I2P4p4Srlg #StandUpandMoveForKids
