Ironically it is the tech boom that has made housing unaffordable for so many.  "Many of the homeless work regular jobs, in some cases serving the very people whose sky-high net worth is the reason housing has become unaffordable for so many." AP

In one school in the heart of Silicon Valley, 44% of the students identify as homeless. 

Here are the National Statistics about the impact of homelessness on students. 
  • 3x's more likely to be placed in special education programs
  • 2x's more likely to miss school
  • 4x's more likely to drop out of school
  • More likely to have emotional and behavioral problems.  ​​
