Tough Choices
People who are unfamiliar with our work at Good Shepherd Housing often ask me, 'Who are your clients?' or 'How do so many people become homeless?' This article from yesterday's Washington Post, called "Homelessness: The Family Portrait" goes a long way to answer those questions.
Obviously, lower- and middle-class families are being hard hit by this economy, but I liked how this article leads you through some of the difficult choices that these families have to make. Affordable childcare, quality schools, rent, food or utilities... Even making the "right" choice does not protect you from a bad economy or simply bad luck.
