Inscription.
"Far too many people in our country have no place they can call home. Millions of men, women and children live in poverty, unable to satisfy their most basic needs: housing, food, clothing ad proper health care....We must break the cycle of homelessness that exists in this country by combining long-term housing solutions with education/job training, health care and support services for all homeless families and children.... As I travel this country, I am joining my voice with those of other homeless advocates to speak out on behalf of thousands of homeless families who cannot."

Platform statement, Kimberly Aiken, "Families First: Addressing America's Homeless Crisis," Miss America Organization Archives, Atlantic City
 
Erected by Miss America Organization.
