Early Care and Education for Children in Homelessness

November 12, 2013

Expand

Over half of children living in federally funded homeless shelters are five years old or younger. Many more young children live in other homeless situations, such as in motels or cars; or, living temporarily with others due to loss of housing, economic hardship, or a similar reason. These children live in conditions of poverty that contribute directly to physical, mental, and emotional difficulties.
