Merrill Area Public Schools Promotes Awareness and Support for Homelessness

MERRILL – November is National Homelessness Awareness Month, and Merrill Area Public Schools is reminding local residents to raise awareness and support surrounding this ever-growing issue.

The homeless community includes more than just those living outdoors and facing the elements. The McKinney-Vento Act defines homelessness as lacking a fixed, regular and adequate nighttime residence. Folks staying in their cars, in shelters or motels, or temporarily staying with others due to hardship are also considered homeless.
