Understanding Homelessness in Rural America
Student homelessness is on the rise across rural America. An estimated 1.4 million students are homeless across the country—a 3% increase nationwide since the 2013-14 school year. But during that same time, student homelessness grew by 11% in rural communities.
ICPH is exploring this side of the national homelessness crisis in a series of reports, infographics, and commentaries that place attention on the local dynamics of homelessness.
