Many in need
How many people are homeless? How many can you help by providing the comfort of warm, dry feet? Information from the National Coalition for the Homeless helps give us an idea of the number of individuals that experience homelessness.
“In a recent approximation USA Today estimated 1.6 million people unduplicated persons used transitional housing or emergency shelters. Of these people, approximately 1/3 are members of households with children, a nine percent increase since 2007. Another approximation is from a study done by the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty which states that approximately 3.5 million people, 1.35 million of them children, are likely to experience homelessness in a given year (National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty, 2007).”
