Believing that the issue of homeless families and teens has for too long been largely ignored, HEAR US strives to inspire a "compassion epidemic" that will address immediate and long-term needs of homeless families and teens.

HEAR US believes that:

• Homeless young people are effective spokespersons. SEE MOFW watch a short MOFW trailer
• Caring people across the country are willing advocates for systemic change. SEE COMPASSION EPIDEMIC
  
• Valuable tools to foster understanding of homeless families will enlighten those unaware-policy makers, educators, and the public. SEE PROJECTS
  
• Beyond HEAR US, good organizations are doing their best to shine a light on homelessness SEE OTHER RESOURCES
