Homelessness Among Infants, Toddlers, Preschool and School-Age Children in North Carolina

Rosalind Kotz, Ph.D. and Scot Felderman with K&F Community Research and Planning Consultants knew that Early Years hoped to learn more about the homelessness of young children in North Carolina. Using their past research experience with the HUD data system, K&F examined HUD data specific to NC children under age 18, with a breakout of children birth to 5 to complete a new report, Homelessness Among Infants, Toddlers, Preschool and School-Age Children in Orange County, Durham County and “Balance of State” Continuums of Care, FY 2021. They were able to collect this data through the work and cooperation of the North Carolina Coalition to End Homelessness (NCCEH), which maintains the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) data system for the Orange County, Durham County, and Balance of State CoCs.
