Homeless Students <br />Table 15 shows the number of homeless students in Indian River and Florida from school year 2008-09 <br />through school year 2012-13. While the number of homeless students in Florida has been on the rise <br />since the 2008-09 school year the numbers have decreased in Indian River over the past 2 school <br />years. Due to federal law, public schools in Florida use an expanded definition of homelessness in <br />order to include children and youth who do not have a regular nighttime residence. Please see the <br />glossary for the definition of homelessness used by the public schools system in Florida. <br />Table 15: Homeless Students in Indian River and Florida, 2008-09 — 2012-13 <br />Source: Department of Children and Families, Council on Homelessness, <br />Compiled by: Health Council of Southeast Florida, 2014 <br />Homeless Youth <br />Table 16 shows homeless youth by age as of January 2014 in Indian River County.
