## Resource

Over 530 kids in Connecticut are now experiencing homelessness — up from 464 last fall — as soaring housing costs force families to double up or lose their homes entirely. Eastern Connecticut leads the crisis, with Fairfield County close behind. The fallout hits schools hard: students struggle to focus, parents miss appointments, and even one in seven community college students is seeking housing aid. This isn’t just a shelter issue — it’s an education emergency fueled by an affordability crisis that’s reshaping lives across the state.
