Homeless kids in the US

Here is a stunning statistic:

One in 50 American children in the course of a year are Homeless!

Southern states are the worst affected.

But to be fair the following are included in this list:

• When the young parents move in with their parents (doubling up) – their kids are also included

• Those who live in in trailer parks and motels ..

• Kids of Migrant workers, and

• Kids in Foster care

What issues does it create for the kids?  Here is what happens to these kids specifically:

• Health problems

• Hunger

• Poor performance in Math and English

• Failed grades and dropping out.
