Abstract	Homelessness is a reality for many families with young children in the country. In fact, infancy is the period of life when a person is at highest risk of living in a homeless shelter in the United States (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), 6th Annual Homelessness Report, 2012). Every day more and more Americans understand that high quality early childhood care and learning prepares children to succeed in the classroom and in life. The impact of homelessness on children, especially young children is extremely challenging and may lead to changes in brain architecture that can interfere with learning, social-emotional development, self-regulation and cognitive skills. In today's world, children should be healthy, alert and motivated to have a better chance of leading productive lives. Not every child, however, has that chance. This 50-state profile project plus the District of Columbia provides a snapshot of early childhood data available for children who are experiencing homelessness in each state. (ERIC).
