The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development shows that 580,466 people were counted as homeless in 2020, representing a 2.2% increase over 2019. Outside of homelessness 16% of children in the US live below the poverty line (they represent the poorest age group). Of those 73% are children of color. The pandemic has only exacerbated all of this, which is why organizations like Street Soccer USA and people like Reed Fox exist. Street Soccer USA offers a soccer-based life skills program to empower those living in poverty. They have 22 programs across 16 cities, with over 1,000 volunteers and have teams that participate in national championships as well as the annual Homeless World Cup. Reed Fox is a Program Manager within the organization carrying out various key roles including acting as the lead of the Homeless World Cup program for the United States.

About 4 years ago a local soccer coach decided to form a soccer team and the players would be homeless men living on the streets of St. Louis. The team is now part of a national homeless soccer league called Street Soccer USA. They play local high school teams to practice and they have been invited to attend the national games in Washington DC. But the real winning takes place off the field where a majority of these players are able to get their lives together and are no longer homeless.
