To some, freedom to move wherever they want, sleep wherever they want, and do whatever they want holds much more value than a roof over their heads. This one may be less grounded in reality than freedom, but some homeless argue that they feel safe out in the open, amongst the people of the city. Housing is a human right, but millions lack this basic right. According to a 2005 global survey, over 1.5 billion people don’t have “adequate” housing.
World Homeless Day was held for the first time on October 10th 2010. It started with people from all corners of the world who worked with homeless people having a discussion about the topic online.
As the founders feel it is an important issue to raise, everywhere, they encourage people anywhere to use the idea and promote the cause.
The purpose of World Homeless Day is to draw attention to homeless people’s needs locally and provide opportunities for the community to get involved in responding to homelessness.
Every year 2.5 million children experience homelessness. You could fill five football stadiums with the homeless population of the U.S.
