Fir t, we mu t underst nd
that hornele ne i not only
men leeping on benche or

treet. Today we ee more and
more familie with children -
one-third of t e nation'
homeles population­
sleeping in cars or shelters or
begging for money on street
corner.
SECOND. M NY families
arc barely getting through each,
day.
The.y are victims of n
expensive hou ing market and
decreasing income. A long
as thi gap exi ts, millions 0
poor families and their
children will live on the edge,
spending most of their income
hou ing they cannot really
ford.
: If you had to choo
t1.etween paying for your
ild's health care or pay rent,
which one will lake priority?
• r do you repair the car to get
to work or pay rent? These are
tbugh choice families should
oot have to agonize over.
e Finally, we know positive
fforts can turn the e families
ound. With 100 percent
fort from federal, state and
I. cal government, the private
ctor, as well as community
pport, we will reverse this
dangerou trend.
