"One in 50 American children is homeless and the economic crisis hitting the United States will make the problem worse, a report released Tuesday said."Without a voice, more than 1.5 million of our nation's children go to sleep without a home each year," said the "America's Young Outcasts" report by the National Center on Family Homelessness.The child homelessness crisis is the worst since the Great Depression, says the report, which looked at the years 2005-06 -- or before the economic slump had fully hit the United States.Children without homes are twice as likely to go hungry, more than twice as likely as middle class children to have health problems, and run twice the risk of other children of repeating a grade at school, being expelled or suspended, or not finishing high school, the report said."

Now the awful thing about this report is that it was done in 2005 and 2006, BEFORE the Economic Meltdown hit so many families, now with so many Jobs Lost ( MILLIONS ) and Homes Lost ( Millions Foreclosed ), We can only estimate how bad is this number ? The 2010 Census may the only way to truly gather all the needed data on the Crisis hurting our Children and Families....
