The #1 indicator that a person will become homeless as an adult is experiencing trauma and poverty as a child. Homelessness is one of the most significant traumas any child can face. FamilyAid works side by side with parents to ensure they and their children have the tools, resources and hope they need to achieve better and brighter futures.
