The series centering poverty and homelessness continues with books for young adult readers! There have been some cruel statements made in the American media and actions taken by the U.S. government that target unhoused individuals in recent months. In response to those words and actions, we're sharing resources for folks in need of food, shelter, or other supplies, ways young adult readers can support people experiencing poverty, homelessness, and food insecurity, and books you can read that discuss these topics either in fictional or nonfictional contexts.

In light of the current US administration's recent actions targeting unhoused people, the next resource series focuses on books that center homelessness, hunger, and poverty as a way to humanize a demographic of people who are often vilified and dehumanized. We're starting off with children's books! Check out a few US-based and international organizations that provide support for unhoused children, families, and individuals in the list directly below and scroll down to check out a few books you might like to read as a family.
