According to sociologist C. Wright Mills, when a social phenomenon affects a significant segment of a population, it is no longer a personal trouble but instead becomes a social issue. You and your students along with their friends and family will find homelessness unacceptable. Let us use our skills, knowledge, and privileges to demand that our leaders, from community to national level, mobilize our resources to turn homelessness into hopefulness. Margaret Mead said, “Never doubt that a group of well intentioned people can change the world û as a matter of fact, it is the only thing that ever has.” We hope this curriculum resource moves you to help change the world.
