Resources on Homelessness:

The National Center on Family Homelessness is the nation's definitive authority on family homelessness. Imagine America without homeless families. They can. Their mission is to discover what works, educate and inspire, and take action to end family homelessness in America.

The National Association for the Education of Homeless Children and Youth (NAEHCY), a national grassroots membership association, serves as the voice and the social conscience for the education of children and youth in homeless situations.

The National Coalition for the Homeless, founded in 1984, is a national network of people who are currently experiencing or who have experienced homelessness, activists and advocates, community-based and faith-based service providers, and others committed to a single mission. That mission, our common bond, is to end homelessness.
