N.M Rated Among Worst in Nation in Child Homelessness

From washingtonexaminer.com -A new report by an advocacy group says the problem of homeless children in America is growing rapidly, with one in 45 children experiencing homelessness in a year. The study released Tuesday by the National Center on Family Homelessness in Needham, Mass.  The last 10 were Georgia, Florida, Nevada, Louisiana, New Mexico, California, Arizona, Arkansas, Mississippi and Alabama. The study found those states have more families living close to the poverty line, with one-fourth or more of their families paying more than 50 percent of their income for rent. Many of the states fell short on planning to deal with the problem of homeless children and lacked programs to provide affordable housing.  More News New Mexico
