How many students in your school or district are homeless? The number of children and youth experiencing homeless has steadily increased over the past 15 years. There were more than 1.5 million homeless children during the 2017–18 school year, an increase of 15 percent from two years before. Although hard data has not yet emerged, we have only to see the news to know that that the number of homeless students has increased exponentially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
