Of that Total, 508 were family households, 570 were Veterans, 353 were unaccompanied young adults (aged 18-24), and 1,153 were individuals experiencing chronic homelessness.
Public school data reported to the U.S. Department of Education during the 2018-2019 school year shows that an estimated 19,747 public school students experienced homelessness over the course of the year. Of that total, 585 students were unsheltered, 1,367 were in shelters, 1,903 were in hotels/motels, and 15,892 were doubled up.
