[The Christian Post] 29 Nov 2008--High fuel and food prices, economic turmoil, and foreclosures are leading more families into homeless and hitting single women with children harder than any other group, according to a recent survey of homeless people.

Women with children made up 66 percent of the homeless families counted in the survey conducted last month by the Association of Gospel Rescue Missions (AGRM) – a jump from 55 percent in 2007 and the highest figure recorded by the 270-group association in the last eight years.
