Definition

  • Estimates suggest that as many as 760,000 Americans are homeless on any given night and up to 2 million experience homelessness each year, among them many children in need of an education. Prior to 1987, there was no federal law or policy addressing the education of homeless children. [Source: Encyclopedia of Education Law; Homeless Students, Rights of]
