Imagine trying to concentrate in math class if you don't know where you'll be sleeping that night. Homeless children are more likely to have trouble at school--and also to get sick and witness violence.
Nearly 1.4 million children who were enrolled in America's public schools in the 2016-2017 school year were homeless.
Millions more children are at risk of becoming homeless because of skyrocketing rent prices and family poverty. The staggering child poverty crisis that affects 1 in 6 kids is forcing them to double up with other families or pushing them into shelters and onto the streets.
Is this who we are? Is this the America we want for our kids? Our children deserve better.

The Children's Defense Fund has worked tirelessly to end child poverty for nearly half a century. We know that allowing nearly 12 million children to grow up in poverty is not an inevitability, but a choice we make as a country. In the America we are working towards, no child wonders where she is going to sleep at night and every child has a safe home to call their own.
In solidarity,

P.S. We are fighting for a country where all children can grow up in safe and stable homes. If that is what you want for your children--and for all children--make a gift today: [link removed]
