Preferred term

child care  

Definition

  • Children and families make up the fastest growing segment of the homeless population in the United States. While many Americans tend to picture the homeless as armies of men and women pushing shopping carts through city streets and sleeping in subway tunnels, in cast-off boxes, and on heating grates, the new face of homelessness more accurately includes an increasing number of children and their families.
