Yet Another Cruel Policy

Since 2016, the U.S. has seen an unrelenting assault on children, damaging to their health and driving up healthcare costs. On May 10th,   the Department of Housing and Urban Development published a proposed rule that will render homeless as many as 55,000 children who live in households with mixed immigration status. Children living in homelessness go hungry twice as often, become sick twice as often, and experience emotional and behavioral problems at three times the rate of kids with roofs over their heads, according the the National Center on Early Childhood Health and Wellness.
