homelessness and poverty

so i am doing research on homlessness right now and i found shocking statistics about homelessness. such as 67% of homeless people are single parent families. and only 30% are because they are dependent on drugs and alcohol. and 40% are whole families with both parents. it breaks my heart to think of children living their childhoods on streets and in poverty. it just tears me up inside and i have been reading what they have been doing about the problem and so far i have found good plans....but where is the action? i have seen a lot of action but i kept on reading i found that the number of homelssness people just keep on increasing....on 2004 it incresed by 14% and who knows where it is now.

action needs to be taken. these people dont deserve to live like this. any ideas?

I am lucky, I am blessed, I am saved.
