Description: "The word "homelessness" comes with many expectations, and often those ideas are incorrect, based on outdated stereotypes. This "hidden story" digs deeper into the issue of homelessness, examining the real reasons that people, both individuals and families, are often forced to live on the streets. It connects with readers in a very real way, with photos and statistics that show that anyone can become homeless under certain circumstances. It also discusses what is being done to help prevent homelessness in the future"--Provided by the publisher.
