Every year in North Carolina, thousands of students face the loneliness and heartache associated with homelessness. According to the National Center of Homelessness Education, over 22,000 students in the state experienced some form of homelessness during the 2020-2021 school year (NCHE, North Carolina State Homeless Data, 2022). Further data collected by the Department of Housing and Urban Developments states that 855 North Carolinian families with children reported extensive periods of unsheltered living in 2022 (HUD, 2022 PIT Data, 2022).
