The HEAR US mission is to give voice and visibility to children and youth experiencing homelessness.
This organization produces poignant films and books that are used by educators, social service personnel and other audiences to call attention to the invisible crisis of millions of families with children and young people who struggle without a place to call home.
- HEAR US addresses audiences at conferences, university and college students, and a variety of gatherings to foster a greater understanding of homelessness.
- HEAR US joins with like-minded organizations to inform public policy based on what the experts--those experiencing homelessness--think is needed.
- HEAR US also facilitates media connections for homeless families/youth, and is quite active on social media, shining a light on the need to repair the torn safety net that leaves millions--babies, toddlers, school kids, teens and young adults, and adults-- on the streets.
Since 2005, HEAR US has been a national force advocating for families and youth experiencing homelessness.
HEAR US has made statewide McKinney-Vento films for: Texas, Kansas, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Hawaii, New Mexico, North Carolina Filming also in: Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, |
