These are the stories of a few homeless youth in America. They can tell you how to sleep without being seen, how to live in an abandoned house, and how to survive off of a can of peanut butter a week. They each have a reason why they are homeless. Most of them did not choose this life. Take a few moments to watch this video by The New York Times. Hopefully this will change the way you view homelessness in America.

Stay tuned for future posts. We are going to dig deeper into this issue and show you several ways that you can get involved with the homeless in your community.
