Early Childhood Homelessness in the United States: 50-State Profile

Children under age 1 comprise 6 percent of the overall population but 12 percent of the population served by HUD-funded Family Shelters. Furthermore, more than 50% of children served by HUD-funded emergency/transitional housing providers in 2012 were age five or younger. This 50-state profile project plus the District of Columbia, excluding territories, migrant and tribal information provides a snapshot of early childhood data available for children who are experiencing homelessness in each state.
