The number of homeless children across the Golden State rose last year according to results of a national report released Monday, especially in hard-hit Southern California, home to the nation’s second-largest school district.
Researchers with the National Center on Family Homelessness found that nearly 2.5 million American children were homeless at some point in 2013. But the state by state report, called “America’s Youngest Outcasts,” showed that California was particularly troublesome because the state accounts for one-fifth of the homeless children.
