This article covers the fact that in America, there has unfortunately been an uptick in homeless students who also suffer from disabilities and an English deficiency, out of 1.3 million homeless students nationwide. From 2012 to 2015, there has been an increase in homeless students in general, increasing by 3.5%.
This increase, combined with relatively stagnant levels of federal support for these students, means that this limited federal aid has been spread very thin, providing each individual student with more limited opportunities for improvement, learning, and efficiency. Although one in four school districts now received federal aid for homeless students, it remains an issue.
Key Takeaways:
1

2
This new data suggests that homeless youth may be more inclined to have language deficiencies.
3
Only 1 in 4 school districts receive funding allocated for homeless students.
