The homeless that aren't being counted

They’re homeless kids.

And they are gravely undercounted, according to some folks who are trying to change that.

“The situations we hear about are really unsafe: a small child sleeping on a couch, a child sleeping on the floor, Mom’s staying with a bad boyfriend,” said Cara Baldari, who works on family economics for First Focus on Children, a D.C.-based nonprofit group.

The federal Department of Housing and Urban Development released numbers last month trumpeting a 5 percent decrease in the number of homeless families with kids since 2018 and a 32 percent drop since 2010. The folks at First Focus say that’s baloney.

They contend the number is actually 27 times what HUD says. And that’s not just coming from a bunch of big-hearted social-services softies. The much higher number comes from another federal agency: the Education Department, which counts homeless kids attending public schools.

1. Oh Yes!!

Last Novembers so called Homeless Population Count in Las Vegas was such a joke. Something like 9k and the Previous year was 14k and we now the soft numbers on Homeless School Age children Registered in the Clark County School District is fully 10% of the Students Enrolled. Enrollment is approximately 334K,do the math.

We are the Entertainment Capital and you just know the Hedge Fund owned Casino's,which btw do not pay their social commitment,are going to manage the Public Image .

An now we have a Social Ordinance banning any camping or sleeping in Public places in the Limits of Las Vegas. One Thousand dollar fine or up to 6 months in jail. If there is a Shelter bed available,which btw,is no where possible to serve the Homeless,Metro can cuff you and stuff you. Going to get damn interesting when the News Media finds whole families in Jail because they are Homeless.
