Homeless Teens Are Increasing In Number
In 2019, the San Diego Union Tribune published an article stating that there were approximately 23,000 homeless teens in San Diego County alone. We estimate there are at least 1.5 million homeless teens between the ages of 12 and 18 years old across the United States. Experts say that number may be even higher. The National Association for the Education of Homeless Children and Youth says that two trends are responsible for these increasing numbers: a growing shortage of affordable rental housing and an increase in severe poverty in the U.S.

 

Homelessness and at-risk circumstances create significant barriers to educational success. Many of these students confront instability, lack of access to basic necessities, and emotional trauma, which can hinder their ability to focus and engage in school. They often struggle with transportation issues, limited access to technology, and the absence of a supportive home environment.

 

At Adolescent Project 2020 , we recognize that these challenges can profoundly impact their educational journey, making it crucial to provide targeted support and understanding. We understand that achieving true equity goes beyond equal treatment; it requires recognizing and addressing existing disparities.

These teens are not responsible for their current circumstances. Most teens are willing to work hard for their future and break the cycle of homelessness. And to do that, they need your help today.

Your monetary or volunteering donations help us to provide mentoring, school supplies, clothing, and hygeine products – to help them stay focused on education and growth, rather than just survival.
