Child homelessness at all-time high in US

America’s Youngest Outcasts, a study released this week by the National Center on Family Homelessness at American Institutes for Research (NCFH), reported that 2.5 million America children were homeless at some point last year, a historic high. The authors of the report warn if these brutal social conditions persist or worsen it will result in the establishment of a “permanent Third World in America.”
More than six years after the height of the foreclosure crisis and fifty years after the declaration of the “War on Poverty,” homeless children account for one out of every thirty children in the country. The number of homeless children increased eight percent between 2012 and 2013 while the number of homeless children rose by nearly one million between 2010 and 2013.
