Huge amount of NYC students still experiencing homelessness, report finds

For the seventh year in a row, an unacceptably high number of New York City students — more than 100,000 of them all — experienced homelessness. 

A study released on Oct. 26 by activist group Advocates for Children of New York (AFC) indicated that although overall enrollment in city schools dropped, approximately 104,000 students in NYC experienced homelessness. That’s a 3.3% increase from last year’s report, which showed about 101,000 homeless students.
