NYT: Ex-homeowners forced into shelters

NYT: Ex-homeowners forced into shelters

A homeless child runs past as homeless mother Carrie Wilson sleeps at the Presbyterian Night Shelter last June in Ft. Worth. Wilson moved to the shelter with her three children after she was evicted from her house, unable to pay her rent. Growing numbers of Americans who have lost houses to foreclosure are landing in homeless shelters, according to social service groups and a recent report by a coalition of housing advocates.
