Lauper explains that family rejection is the most common reasons for homelessness but "it's just one piece of the puzzle - a very big puzzle. We need to make sure we're seeing the whole picture." But the 62-year-old singer isn't the only one helping homelessness. "Right now people all across America are making a difference. A 24-hour diner owner in North Carolina is giving kids a place to stay when they have nowhere else to go." She continues, saying that "A library in Indiana is letting kids without a permanent address use computers to access lifesaving resources. In Minnesota police officers are using an app developed by the community to help kids find shelters with available beds." "There are many more possibilities that have yet to be explored. That's why we need to keep the conversation going."
