School on Wheels Massachusetts Children and families experiencing homelessness are often invisible in society. The most common image of homelessness, that of a single adult living on the street, is not representative of one of the fastest growing segments of the homeless population, which is family homelessness.
The Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless estimates that the average age of a homeless person in Massachusetts is 8 years old. The children served are living in temporary homes such as shelters, motels, and transitional apartments. The students have a roof over their heads but they have no permanent place to call home. There is no time limit on how long a child can receive services.
