If COVID-19 has taught us anything, it’s that there are many disparities that plague our communities that may not be immediately apparent, such as: food insecurity in families, and lack of healthcare and educational access. Also, one thing the sign failed to take into account is the fact that over half a million Americans experience homelessness at any point in time, with a significant percentage of these individuals being young adults between the ages of 13 to 25.
