Data & Reports
Overview
It is estimated that 4.2 million young people, ages 13 to 25, experience some form of homelessness each year in the United States, with considerably more young people experiencing crises that put them at risk of facing similar housing insecurity. Think about it this way: in a classroom of 30 students, at least one of them will experience homelessness this year, without a safe living environment to call home and forced to couch surf, bounce among relatives and friends, live in shelters, or stay on the streets.
Key Facts:
- 4.2 million young people, ages 13 to 25, experience a form of homelessness each year in the United States
