Summary:
There are 150 million people experiencing
homelessness
worldwide, and that number is increasing every year.
Homelessness
is not a choice, yet it exists in almost every
community
. But why are people homeless? Who are they? What can you do? In
Shelter
:
Homelessness
in
Our
Community
, readers will get answers to these complex questions. They'll learn about the root causes of
homelessness
and its effects, and what people and organizations around the world are doing to address the problem. It shares the personal stories of people who live on the street and the adults and kids who work with them. As a former homeless-shelter worker, author Lois Peterson encourages young people to approach the issue with knowledge and compassion. She dispels some of the myths about
homelessness
and makes the case for why everyone deserves a safe, permanent place to call home.
