America's youngest outcasts: State report card on child homelessness

Description:

The National Center on Family Homelessness (NCFH) has created America's Youngest Outcasts: State Report Card on Child Homelessness to provide a comprehensive snapshot of child homelessness in America today. Updating a study NCFH released in 1999, this report shows that the problem of child homelessness is worsening. The Report Card describes the status of homeless children in four areas: extent of child homelessness, child well-being, structural risk factors, and state-by-state policy and planning efforts.
