from Viewpoints Radio · host Marty Peterson, Ebony McMorris | AURN, Evan Rook, Gary Price
Every year, 1.6 million teens in the U.S. between the ages of 13-17 experience homelessness. And that number is twice as high for youth ages 18-25. For this population, every aspect of life is a struggle. Basics like what’s for dinner, where to find clean clothes or getting connected to wi-fi to finish homework are all daily hurdles.
