News Coverage on Family Homelessness

News reporting on family homelessness is not as prevalent as you might think, given the significance of the issue.  These are some of the most significant stories published about family homelessness that we've seen. They include both the reporting done as part of our Journalism Fellows program and reporting done by other news organizations.

• Journalism Fellowships on Family Homelessness -- News reporting projects about family homelessness that appeared in The Herald of Everett, on KUOW Radio, on PBS Newshour, in Real Change and in the Seattle Times, and the reporting produced by InvestigateWest that was published by numerous news organizations.
• Other Media Coverage:  We've observed other great reporting on family homelessness, such as Scott Pelley's "60 Minutes" piece on families in Florida, "Hard Times Generation" (March 2011) and his follow-up piece featuring the memorable teenager Arielle Metzger, "Hard times generation: Families living in cars" (November 2011).
• Bob Woodruff of ABC News' "This Week" did a great piece on homelessness among veterans, including female veterans with children, which kick-started our focus on family homelessness among veterans and led to Mr. Woodruff's visit to Seattle.
