Why is it so important?

		Schools need quality materials to help staff identify students experiencing homelessness and understand what challenges the students face.
		Communities need to better understand the scope of homelessness in their midst to better serve this invisible population.
		Media need to understand homelessness from the perspective of families and youth experiencing homelessness to better represent this issue.
		Elected officals and agency personnel need to understand what families and youth experience and need to better serve this forgotten constituency.
