Public schools across the U.S. have found that around one million children are experiencing homelessness, according to the U.S. Department of Education.
So if those two separate measurements are used and combined in an unscientific manner, the estimate would show about 155,815 California students might have been doubled-up during the 2020-21 school year.
But some experts say these numbers might not be accurate or fully reflect reality.
This law defines homeless students, in part, as “children and youths who are sharing the housing of other persons due to loss of housing, economic hardship, or a similar reason; are living in motels, hotels, trailer parks, or camping grounds due to the lack of alternative adequate accommodations; are living in emergency or transitional shelters; or are abandoned in hospitals.”
Moore said some of the most common questions she receives from school staff are about whether a student might be doubled-up or not.
