A new report from the America's Promise Alliance and its Center for Promise at Tufts University, "Don't Call Them Dropouts: Understanding the Experiences of Young People Who Leave High School before Graduation," paints a detailed portrait of this demographic.
Forty percent of the United States homeless populations are under the age of 18, and Hispanics make up 20 percent of the total homeless population. So, with approximately 640,000 homeless in a given year, that means around 51,200 Latino youths experience homelessness on a yearly basis.
