Homeless Youth in School

Massachusetts Students: Homeless and On their Own

The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education estimates that nearly 6,000 high school students are homeless and on their own. Thousands more homeless youth are not reflected in these numbers because they have already dropped out of school. There is a desperate need for increased shelter and housing options for youth living without their parents. See, Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless
