Why does VKAP sponsor a program on Homelessness.
Young Families with children represent as much as one 3rd of the homeless population across the United States. Children in homeless families are at higher risk of entering Kinship or Foster care.
The percentage of children entering Kinship or Foster Care can vary depending on each states policy and approach to End Homelessness.
The “END HOMELESSNESS VT” project aims to make Vermont a Homelessness-free state. And that will reduce the the number of parents and children who otherwise experience extreme trauma through such separation.
Keep children in stable, healthy and safe environments.
