(Radio Iowa) – A federal report indicates nearly 18 percent of the people who were homeless in Iowa on a cold night last January were under the age of 18. The U-S Housing and Urban Development conducts an annual survey on one night in January. The agency’s latest point-in-time report indicates at least 26-hundred Iowans were homeless in January of 2024. About one in five of them were classified as unsheltered, meaning they were sleeping in a place not designed for sleeping, like an abandoned building, a campground or a vehicle.
