No child should be denied the chance for a bright future based on their family’s hardship. Children are our country’s most valuable resource, yet millions of children experience poverty and homelessness each year because we lack the political will to make lasting change. This failure to address child poverty and homelessness not only hinders the well-being of children who are denied critical resources, it harms our nation as a whole.
