Rock Center with Brian Williams did a story last week (Wednesday 28 November) on working homeless families - families who have done everything "right" but through medical issues, the rising costs for necessities, or other crisis that have altered earning power or family income, find themselves without a roof over head. The families profiled showed the difficulties for the children. Please watch - these are the families ROOF tries to help locally and with your help, is able to help keep together and keep kids in their schools.
