The National Center on Family Homelessness estimated this month that 1.5 million U.S. children were homeless at one time or another between 2005 and 2006. The center also says America's homelessness problem is likely to worsen this year because of foreclosures and job losses due to the ongoing recession. VOA's Sean Maroney reports from Washington on how some middle class families have lost their homes, and because they cannot afford high rent, now are moving into low-cost motels.

  • WHEN WHITE FOLKS ARE STRUGGLING...THEN YOU KNOW THAT THERE'S A SERIOUS PROBLEM.

    WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR AMERICA?

  • ALLAH gives us food and every thing to every one this is our belief.

  • show some respect fucker Americans to the poors

  • yeah, i was wondering myself, the economy has been going downhill, but these infants are very young, why did they keep breeding, a condom costs a let less! Heck they give them away free at the clinics!

  • @bunny651 see, thats the same thing I always say and I get a lot of flak for it......why does anyone have so many kids. This is not the 1800s where you had lost of children to help you work on your farm.....

  • Get this-because my husband & I only have 1 child we were told we'd have to have THREE more kids in order to qualify for assistance because they tack on 10k per extra person in the home over 3 people in order to qualify, in order to meet the income requirements. This is the screwed up system we have. We don't qualify because they say we make too much but if we had more kids we'd qualify in a heartbeat. W.T.F??

  • Why do they always have so many kids?

  • Why don't they find a UNLISTED, EMPTY HOUSE & pay a few bucks for a "adverse pocession" document????? That's what a lot of people are already doing.

  • we needa war !!!!global war for are better future!!!!!

  • Centerice, maybe you'd prefer they were starving too!
