40 Statistics About The Fall Of The U.S. Economy That Are Almost Too Crazy To Believe
May 28th, 2013I didn’t know about #38: One Million U.S. Students Homeless, New Data Show:
For the first time in history, public schools reported more than one million homeless children and youth, according to data released today by the U.S. Department of Education.
The 1,065,794 homeless students enrolled by U.S. preschools and K-12 schools in the 2010-2011 school year is the highest number on record, and a 13 percent increase over the 2009-2010 school year. This total underestimates the number of homeless children, because it does not include homeless infants and toddlers, young children who are not enrolled in public preschool programs, and homeless children and youth who were not identified by school officials.
