Abstract	Homelessness is a reality for many families with young children in the United States. In 2016, about a third of all people who stayed in a shelter were families with children, and nearly half of children served by U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)-funded emergency and transitional housing providers were age five or younger (HUD, 2017). This 2018 report updates the annual Early Childhood Homelessness State Profiles and provides a snapshot of early childhood data available for children who are experiencing homelessness in each state, plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. It includes publicly available data for 2015-2016 from the U.S. Census Bureau (Census), U.S. Department of Education (ED), U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and the Annie E. Casey Foundation and reports the following by state: (1) Total population under age six in 2016; (2) Estimated number of children under age six experiencing homelessness in 2015-2016; (3) Estimated extent of homelessness (e.g., one-in-[X] children under age six experienced homelessness in 2015-2016); and (4) Estimated enrollment of children under age six in federally-funded early childhood programs (i.e., Head Start and school districts receiving "McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act" ("McKinney-Vento Act") subgrants) in 2015-2016. As in previous profiles, the 2018 report includes two indicators referred to as related factors. These factors are the percentage of families experiencing a "high housing cost burden" (defined as spending 30 percent or more of monthly income on housing expenses), and the percentage of low-income working families with young children under age six (defined as having at least one parent working 50 weeks or more in the prior year and the family income below 200 percent of the federal poverty line). These factors are included because of their relationship to homelessness and, in particular, to spark dialogue about addressing homelessness for children under age six. While these data on related factors are not available for U.S. territories, this report does provide information about the number of children experiencing homelessness served by Head Start/Early Head Start in these areas.
