C
The fastest growing segment of the homeless population is families with children. This includes complete nuclear families and single-parent families. More than 794,000 homeless are enrolled in the public school systems. Children of homeless families are often in fair or poor health and have higher rates of asthma, ear infections, stomach problems, mental illness, and have poor immunization documentation. As a result, usually the only access to health care for these children is through the emergency department.
