How Many Homeless People Will Freeze To Death This Winter?

How Many Homeless People Will Freeze To Death This Winter?


November 21, 2014
by Christopher Statton

There are currently 578,424 homeless people living in the United States, a third of whom have no shelter at all. As temperature start to fall across the country, they are an extremely vulnerable population, even in areas of the country that don’t regularly see freezing temperatures like Oklahoma and California.

Better Homes & Gardens Today is a public art project  by Megan Wilson and Christopher Statton  developed to: 1) Heighten awareness around “home” and the realities of homelessness; 2) Cultivate a dialog within communities and amongst disparate groups about what is needed - funding and policy change - to end homelessness; and 3) To raise money to benefit the Gubbio Project, the Coalition On Homelessness, and At The Crossroads,  organizations working to address homelessness in San Francisco.  

All people, especially those who are living on the streets or have mental health or substance abuse issues, are worthy of respect, dignity, and loving kindness.
