Levels of poverty, racial disparity and domestic violence are among the main causes of child homelessness in the US. Maria Finoshina continues her journey across the US.
Homelessness among Florida public school children has increased by 84 percent over the past five years. These children, even those living in emergency housing, will start the school year without basic “back-to-school” supplies. Essential supplies are simple things; a backpack, the right uniform, calculators and notebooks, yet will remain out of reach for Miami-Dade’s homeless children unless the community rallies to help.
FIU Athletics and its more than 400 student-athletes take great pride in their involvement in the community. This past year, the Panthers have been involved with Chapman Partnership – an organization that provides comprehensive services to empower homeless residents to become self-sufficient.
