Homeless Youth in Osceola County

Nicole Reid | 2020

Abstract

Homelessness plagues many cities and is a significant issue in Osceola County compared to other counties throughout the United States. Florida has the highest population of homeless individuals in the country. In a 2018 government report, a total of31,030 individuals wereexperiencing homelessness. Of that total,2,757were family households,2,543were veterans,1,892were unaccompanied young adults (aged 18–24), and5,302were individuals experiencing chronic homelessness. Of the total homeless population in Florida, 72, 00 were students (The Council of Homelessness, 2018).

Destitute families with minor kids living in the city, in safe houses, or transitional projects constitute around 28% of the homeless population (as characterized by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development) in Florida. Families comprise 33% percent of the total destitute population. Despite Florida’s family vagrancy numbers being superior to those in other states, lowering family vagrancy must remain a priority.
