Why a 5k in the Winter
Homelessness is not seasonal.
According to a 2018 report by the National Alliance to End Homelessness it is estimated that 552,830 people experience homelessness across the country. this number represents 17 out of every 10,000 people in the United States, nine percent of the homeless population are veterans and eight percent are unaccompanied youth and children. Homeless veterans in St. Louis represent 11% of the region’s homeless population. MBA-St. Louis’ charitable program “Homers for the Homeless” has focused its efforts toward St. Louis area veterans and youth who represent the area’s homeless population.
