"Very few parents are homeless"

It depends on how you define "few" or "very few".


Between 700,000 and 800,000 people are homeless on any given night. Over the course of a year between 2.5 and 3.5 million people will experience homelessness in this country.1

.......

# About half of the individuals who experience homelessness over the course of a year live in family units.2
# About 38% of people who are homeless in the course of a year are children.3

Pre-Reagan, this number was essentially zero.
