	"A life of homelessness and poverty is devastating for a child. The stigma of being a social outcast erodes a child's sense of self-worth. For a homeless child, education offers probably the only road out of his seemingly hopeless situation. It offers contact with a stable, sheltered world; it provides examples of strength and courage; it teaches self-worth and initiative. And it provides badly-needed skills." Broken Lives: Denial of Education to Homeless Children. National Coalition for the Homeless. December 1987.
