Show Notes
Homelessness among infants and toddlers is surging in the US, with a 23% increase from 2021 to 2023, reaching nearly 450,000 kids under three in unstable homes. Experts attribute this rise to high living costs and mental health struggles for new moms. Early programs offer stability, but enrollment is low. Communities are stepping up with targeted help, such as trauma-informed care and resource linkages. Moms like one who earned her GED and got subsidized housing show progress is possible. Experts call for higher minimum wages, more child care spots, and affordable units to keep families housed.
