Haywood County Schools’ social workers have identified about 240 students who are considered homeless, and they expect that number will reach 300 by the end of the year.
The number has increased by 15-20% in the last year of the economic recovery. Many homeless children are in the wee grades, and many are considered “unaccompanied.” Consequently, food, clothing, and transportation are offered through the schools.
Pass along, pass along. The economy’s fine. There’s no social crisis. We can expand the programs if we encourage more teens to get pregnant.
