"The Santa Maria Joint High School District, has 557 homeless kids in its student body of 7,641 pupils. That district’s Superintendent, Kathleen Pritchard, said 519 of these kids are “doubled-up,” 13 live in motels, 10 are in shelters, 9 in something called “not a standard residence” (probably a car). Five of the 557 are unsheltered, a.k.a. on the street."

Our project is about homeless children and children with homeless parents. We want to inspire every voice to speak up for themselves. We wanted to educate those who don't think of this as a serious subject. For those who consider homeless people lazy or see them as people who aren't as important, let this bring to light the other side of their stories.
