Background
When Horizons for Homeless Children was founded, we hoped that homelessness among children and families would be a temporary phenomenon. Unfortunately, family homelessness has increased statewide and nationally.
More than 50,000 young children under the age of six will experience homelessness in Massachusetts this year. Nationally, over 500,000 children under the age of six are homeless in the course of a year. More statistics>>
In order to address this growing problem, since 2002 Horizons for Homeless Children has advocated with elected officials and other policymakers at the state and federal levels to improve the lives of homeless children and their families.
