Whereas I have noticed the growing population of American families becoming homeless and having no way to regain freedom to get back into permanent housing.

There was 23% of homeless adults with children in 2012.

24% were married in 2012.

58% were single adults who might have small children in 2012.

This bill that is being addressed to the government of the United States of America, is for the unspoken U.S. Citizens of the United States that are homeless families with children.

This bill will also address how we the people of this great nation can help our fellow American’s in their time of need.

Section 1. This is for United States citizens only.

Section 2. All U.S. States need to have a permanent housing action plan for all U.S. citizens that are homeless with children under the age of eighteen.

Section 3. All homeless families with children should be sent to the front of any and all housing lists before any single or housed families.

⦁ This also includes but not limited to private or government funded housing projects.

Section 4. No family should be decimated by private or government funded housing programs.

⦁ This includes but not limited to no family in the U.S. With children should be turned down for housing for any reason.

⦁ This also includes their income, age of children, disability, race, gender, marital status, and/or rental or credit history.

Due to having a money-hungry landlord previously, while I was on HUD, the state took my kids, I lost my home, and a whole lot more. I totally agree with this act above and beyond 1000%!!!!

Because no child should feel insecure and afraid... And no parent should go without help raising their child/ children... It's the hardest job in the world.

This is a great cause not only for homeless parents but homeless veterans who also have children that have sacrificed everything for this country only to be surviving the streets.

There is more of a need than anyone can imagine for this. There is almost no help at all for homeless families.
