Homeless US Student Population Reaches Highest Number in Over 10 Years, Says Study The analysis was done by the National Center for Homeless Education and used data from 2017-2018.
It says that over 1.5 million are affected.
Most live with family and friends, but seven percent are in cars or empty structures.
The report also says students without a home suffer greatly with learning.
NYFH's Amanda Clifford, via the BBC The 1.5 million is more than double of the recorded homeless students from 2004-2005.
The rise can be linked to increased rents and a housing shortage in certain U.S. areas.
Economic changes also play a role, which include many factories shutting down and parents not able to afford a place to stay.
It is also caused by domestic violence and the country's recent opioid crisis.
According to experts, solutions include offering more affordable housing for low-income families.
It is also important to provide those suffering from trauma with emotional support.
