One out of every 3 homeless people in the United States is under the age of 18, totaling about 1.7 million, according to dosomething.org. But students of the same age are trying to bring attention to the issue. More than 70 students from North Hall High School organized “Hope for the Homeless,” an awareness and fundraising event Friday night aimed at making the community conscious of an issue the students see as critical.
