Beaverton Kids: Group Wants to Bring Focus to Homeless Youth

If you've driven around Beaverton Friday and Saturday and noticed a lot of people camping out, it's part of a campaign started by Shelter Us, Beaverton.

To bring attention to the problem of homeless kids in the city, they urged people to sleep outside Friday night.

For the past six years, they say, the Beaverton School District has had the highest number of homeless kids in the state.

Yet, according to the organization, Beaverton does not have a shelter for those homeless kids.

They hope that by bringing attention to the issue, they will be able to help the city raise the money to get a shelter built.

When people woke up Saturday morning, they were aged to then head to the Beaverton Farmer's Market where booths were set up by organizations offering serves to homeless students.
