The current number of students facing homelessness in our district is 100 students. This number has risen 15% in the past three years and is continuing to rise. The mobility rate in the district is at 20% which is higher than previous years. The dropout rate is also increasing to 20% with the graduation rate of these students decreasing to 50% which has steadily decreased by 3-5% over the past few years. Many of the students facing homelessness are living in multi-family units or are being repeatedly evicted from their homes. In a few cases, there are families who are in shelters and/or living in their family cars. With these harsh living conditions, many of these families are lacking adequate living spaces, food and water, and home support.
