Homeless kids

from Urban Affairs · host Jack Craver

Rising child homelessness represents a profound moral failure in society. I talk to Liz Schoenfeld, leader of an Austin nonprofit, LifeWorks, that helps young people who have been chewed up and spit out by the state's dysfunctional foster care system. The bad news is that child homelessness is on the rise. The good news is there are people like Liz working hard to reverse the trend.
