No Child Deserves Homelessness
Family Promise of North Idaho serves homeless families with children.
Step Up to Fight Homelessness This October
This month, Family Promise will host a week-long event to raise awareness about the crisis of family homelessness in the U.S. Family Promise Week, which runs Oct. 24-31, will highlight an issue many call “an invisible crisis.”
Every year, more than three million children in America experience homelessness, and one in 16 become homeless before they reach the first grade. But families are ashamed of the stigma of homelessness and often go to great lengths to hide their situation. Homelessness puts youth at risk of anxiety, depression, and academic struggles (an alarming 42 percent drop out of school at some point) and can set children up for a lifetime of challenges. The COVID pandemic has exacerbated an existing affordable housing crisis and has increased economic instability, increasing the risk of homelessness for families.
Family Promise Week will draw attention to this crisis through social media posts. Go to fpgives.org and make a donation.
