Report highlights acute vulnerability of homeless children

Homeless children describe their acute vulnerability and need for someone to care for them in a new report by the ombudsman for children.

Emily Logan said the consultation document, Homeless Truths, allowed homeless children to describe their experiences in their own words.

“None of the children were focused on buildings or physical structures, rather what having a home represented — dignity, self-esteem, feeling safe and secure. That is what really mattered to them.
