'There are several places open across Arkansas that are waiting to help homeless women and children, but more and more single dads are finding themselves homeless and with virtually no where to turn for help.

But one Little Rock shelter is doing what it can to be the solution to an ever-increasing problem.
...
The shelter also helps Sean and others save their money with the ultimate goal of getting back out on their own.

"I work 40-50 hours a week," Sean says. "Once I move into a place, I'll be able to afford rent and utilities and stuff. It's just a matter of when you first move in somewhere, it's $2,000, rent, deposit, electricity; it's this big sum of money I don't have."

In the meantime, Our House provides, food and shelter for both of them, as well as daycare for Aiden, who's making himself at home.
...
Our House estimates around 18 people have lived in a room dedicated to single dads and their kids in the two years they've had it available.'

Good to see this. We need more resources in place to keep children with their fathers.
