Review for The National Center on Family Homelessness, Needham, MA, USA
Recently, as a child advocate, I attended a workshop led by Christina Jordan of The National Center on Family Homelessness. I was not only impressed by the openness of the forum and the depth of the information presented, but I was also heartened to know that The National Center on Family Homelessness is following through on its mission. I truly believe that Florida voice is being heard in the national discussions and know that the other states will have the same experience. This is a national discussion that can only succeed when local communities, counties, and states bring together the people and organizations needed to bring about an end to child and family homelessness. I am the most hopeful I've been in 29 years of working in this field. Kudos to the National enter on Family Homelessness for being a conduit for the exchange of ideas and solutions, a catalyst for change and a champion for a cause that absolutely must be addressed in Amerian society.

their combined knowledge, expertise, dedication, and commitment to the cause --as well as their ability to gracefully manage a room full of "gifted children" (aka, talkative adults).
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
extremely professional, informed and dedicated.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
bring child and family homelessness centerstage in the Congressional agenda and the hearts and minds of the American people.
Ways to make it better...
Someone had been sitting in the room was an unlimited revenue stream to implement the very practical, innovative and essential changes that would end child and family homelessness.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
Being able to get to each of the states, to assimilate all of the information, to distill the best ideas into an action plan and then to get the backing of funders and government to implement the action plan.
One thing I'd also say is that...
There is no time to waste.
