According to the State of Homelessness Report, it is estimated that more than 1,000 individuals in the FMWF community experience homelessness each night. Of the homeless individuals surveyed, about 30% indicated they were currently employed. For many, homelessness isn't their only concern. In Cass and Clay counties, respectively, the food insecurity rate is 8.9% and 9.5%. These are our community members. Our co-workers, classmates, former colleagues and potential future employees. And this issue runs much deeper than what many of us can see or imagine.
