Needs Of Homeless
Children
By Ar;,h Lee- Casework with
Duplin County Department of Pub
lic Welfare.
The home . usually the place
where children feel a sense 0f love
and belonging. In a home with
matuv'c parentis, children gain
strength and confidence to meet
the responsibilities of daily living
because it is through their home
and parents that they receive gui
dance to meet their responsibil-
i iiies.

young lives are void of so many

children have physical and emo
tional needs and the satisfaction
of thise needs are necessary for
the children to develop into worth
while adult citizens.
A home is certainly a need ef
homeless children but it has to
be more than a physical structure
to meet the real needs of ehldco.
Many of our children have access
to makesshift home but it isn't
sufficient to call a home, so the
children are classified as homeless.
Parents are physieally important to
homeless children because through
them, the children are supplied
with shelter, food schooling med
ical care and other physical needs.
Parents are most important . to
homeless children from an emo
tional stanpoirit. Good parentis
are the one real need of our home
less children and as they do net
have parents of their 0wn who en
supply their physical and emotion
al needs jt is necessary for sub
stitute or foster parents to be fou
nd for them. Our homeless child
ren have been wholly and partially
deprived of the emotional needs
which contribute to good mental
-oalth. As our children without
Nona's have been cheated of m nv
which they deserve, it n

every effort to make-up for this
Homeless children need to be
lieve that they are loved and wan
ted and that someone cares what
happens to them. They need to
know that they are acceped just

one needs to let homeless children
know that they have confidence

Homeless children need guidance .
in learning how to behave, toward
