A Shocking Number of Students in Seattle Schools Are Homeless
A shocking number of students are showing up for school each day in America who are now homeless. After four years of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris wrecking the US economy, millions of middle-class families have been pushed out of their homes. A recent report from Seattle highlights just how bad the problem has become in one left-wing city.
According to the latest report from HUD, there are 2,235 homeless kids (age 17 and under) attending Seattle Public Schools as of October. That’s a 20% increase over the 2023-2024 school year, on top of a 30% increase that happened during the 2022-2023 school year.
After Biden-Harris allowed somewhere between 15 and 30 million illegal aliens into the country (give or take a few million), housing prices skyrocketed for all Americans. The average rent for an apartment in Seattle this month is $2,300. More and more families are slipping through the cracks because of runaway inflation and a housing shortage that is directly being caused by illegal aliens receiving welfare payments to cover their rent.
Many American middle-class families are now hanging on by their fingernails financially as they await Donald Trump’s return to the White House. Washington state had 41,000 homeless kids attending its public schools in 2023-2024. That’s up from about 35,000 the year before.
That pales in comparison to California, which had 246,000 homeless kids attending school last year. However, it illustrates just how bad the problem has become under four years of Biden-Harris nation-destroying policies.
The good news is that the strain on the housing market is about to receive a big correction in 2025. As soon as incoming Border Czar Tom Homan gets to work, we have a feeling that a lot of affordable housing units are going to open up in sanctuary cities like Seattle.
