Karen Wall the Homeless Liaison for the Sparta School District stated that this school year, we have had 52 children homeless. 64% of these children are from households headed by single mothers that could benefit from a program such as the one we are proposing. Last year, we reported 71 children as being homeless. Of this number, 63% were from single mother households.
