Thatreporting period compares the numbers of homeless studentsreported in the 2006‐2007 school year, before the recession beganin December of 2007, to the most current full year, 2009‐2010. Ofthe 10 districts with the highest numbers of homeless students inthe state, eight reported increases from 2006‐07 to 2009‐10.Bellingham, for example, was up 80 percent, Tacoma up 17 percent,Seattle up 27 percent and Highline up 21 percent.

A Card for JasonAs recorded by YouthCare inSeattle, “When Jason's YouthCarecase manager asked him what he'dlike for the holidays this year, heresponded, "Oh, I just want acard." His case manager asked if hemeant a gift card so he could picksomething out for himself. "No," hereplied. "Like a Christmas card thatsomeone writes in. That way I cankeep it for years." It sounds almosttoo touching to believe, but it isindeed a true story.“School children have been makingholiday cards for the youth livingon the streets telling them thatsomeone cares about them and tobe safe. We would like to includean actual gift card from a grocerystore, Fred Meyer or Target in thecard this year for all the Jason’s outthere.
