Homeless Kids DO Count!

For too long, this country has failed millions of homeless families and teens. Current legislation--HR 1877 and S 808--proposes more of the same.

The definition of homelessness needs to be revised to reflect the uncertainties facing homeless families and teens--the proposed language is inadequate.

Families/teens are homeless and at grave risk when doubled-up, in motels, or couch surfing.

And HUD's secretary should not be allowed to exclude homeless kids in the street counts! HOMELESS KIDS DO COUNT!

I urge you to push for changes that reflect the growing and painful reality facing millions of homeless families and teens.
