Homeless in High School
Submitted by Anonymous on Fri, 05/22/2015 - 3:34pmHomelessness has many faces. Some are old, some are young. It affects all races, religions, and sexes. It can be triggered by a poor economy, inconsistent work, a medical catastrophe, and death of a family member. In the Lake Tahoe Unified School District (LTUSD), there are 246 homeless students (1).
I recently sat down with one of those students to understand a day in the life of a homeless student.
