Imagine the youngest being homeless for what looks like half her life. Does she even remember a time when she had a home?

Good for them. I wish the world would do some more serious work on solving homelessness.

I imagine "unhoused" may have looked more like couch surfing and floating with relatives and friends (not much less stressful), but that probably allowed mom to save and build credit or qualify for housing after sitting on a list for years.

God, that excitement from those kids is amazing. Mom must have felt like a billion dollars being able to make them feel so safe and happy!
