This really is sad, and hard to believe.

1 out of 30 children in America is homeless.


"The number of homeless children in the U.S. has surged in recent years to an all-time high, amounting to one child in every 30, according to a comprehensive state-by-state report that blames the nation?s high poverty rate, the lack of affordable housing and the impacts of pervasive domestic violence"

"The problem is particularly severe in California, which has one-eighth of the U.S. population but accounts for more than one-fifth of the homeless children with a tally of nearly 527,000."

"Child homelessness increased by 8 percent nationally from 2012 to 2013"
