At a recent news conference, President Obama was asked about a recent National Center on Family Homelessness report that one in fifty children in the United States are homeless. The President responded that child and family homelessness is "not acceptable."
We are pleased to have worked with NCFH on the report and its policy recommendations, and will be working further with NCFH, our long-standing partners at NAEHCY and First Focus, and other children's and education groups - to provide guidance to the White House on how to effectively move towards an end to family homelessness.
