Federal and state crime statistics revealed that  the recidivism rate for incarcerated youth and adults in the United States has more than doubled within the past ten years. Lack of various basic life skills, education, and conflict resolution techniques have greatly attributed to this increase. 

According to the Director of the Homelessness Research Institute at the National Alliance to End Homelessness, there is an estimated 672,000 people who experience homelessness on any given night in America.
