Since 1975, millions of Americans and citizens of the world have turned to the PBS NewsHour for the solid, reliable reporting that has made it one of television's most trusted news programs.

One example is how the city of Green Bay, Wisconsin, is working to overcome the the social stigma, physical exhaustion, and psychological burnout that comes with being homeless. They provide social services to both student and parents at a time when many schools are cutting back on such student care, let alone consider providing for the parents.
