Poverty is an Epidemic!
Poverty is an epidemic in our county. Many families, children, and veterans are considered part of the working poor in our society today. As such, they may have full-time jobs but not be earning a living wage. Therefore, they are unable to attain and retain housing. That’s where Homeward Bound is working to close the gap.
