Hi friends! I'm running the Boston Marathon solo this year, and I'm thrilled to be supporting Horizons again. Having worked in a Horizons preschool, I've seen the impact that the organization makes in the lives of homeless kids. Thank you so much for your support!

Child and Family Homelessness: Key Facts

This year in the U.S., 1 in every 45 children will be without a home.
There are over 100,000 homeless children across MA, half of whom are under the age of 6.
Family homelessness is the fastest growing segment of the homeless population, making up 40% of the group.
Without the intervention of such critical programs as Horizons for Homeless Children, young homeless children are at risk of serious developmental problems.
