1 in 7 New York City Elementary Students Will Be Homeless, Report Says

There were 100,000 homeless students in New York City public schools during the 2015-16 school year, a number equal to the population of Albany.

The daunting challenges that creates, both for individual children struggling to learn and for schools trying to improve performance, are laid out in a report to be released on Wednesday by the Institute for Children, Poverty, and Homelessness. If current trends continue, the report’s authors say, one in every seven New York City public school students will be homeless at some point during elementary school.
