NATIONAL DAY

Persons who have been homeless carry within them a certain philosophy of life which makes them apprehensive about ownership.Jerzy KosinskiHomelessness is a serious problem, even in what we perhaps foolishly refer to as ‘first world countries, and Housing Day was established as part of a movement to combat it all over the world. In the US alone there are 643,000 homeless people, and 200,000 in Canada according to a 2008 study, and in many locations homelessness is treated as a criminal problem. Housing Day works to help change this perception, and to provide a home for those who are currently suffering from homelessness.
