Homelessness in Orange County
Over 35,000 people in Orange County California are homeless and 80% of those are families with children. Most of these live in motels because they cannot afford first and last month's rent, and a security deposit. They are faced with the choice of food on the table or a table on which there is no food.
ABC WORLD NEWS TONIGHT recently did a report on the "Hidden Homeless" living in OC Motels:
