"My Own Four Walls" (documentary film on child homelessness)
Wednesday, March 31
7:00PM

Description: Children thell their stories of what it is like to be
homelesss. Courageous young people, with parents and without; staying
in shelters, motels, abandoned buildings, doubled-up, living in vans,
substandard trailers, or as "couch surfers" hopping from one fragile
living arrangement to another have one important thing in common: They
all have hopes and dreams just like children who have their own four
walls.
Discussion: More than 30,636 of Illinois's children experience
homelessness each year. What factors are contributing to this growing
statistic and how can we ameliorate conditions in our own communities?
