In 2014, the United States continues to face an affordable housing crisis. Homelessness was already a national crisis prior to the foreclosure crisis and economic recession. An estimated 2.5 to 3.5 million men, women, and children were experiencing homelessness each year, including a total of 1.35 million children, and over a million people working full or part-time but unable to pay for housing. The National Law Center on Homelessness & Poverty (NLCHP) has written a report card that assesses the current level of U.S.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Imagine a world where it is illegal to sit down. Could you survive if there were no place you were allowed to fall asleep, to store your belongings, or to stand still? For most of us, these scenarios seem unrealistic to the point of being ludicrous. But, for homeless people across America, these circumstances are an ordinary part of daily life.
