What the article really says is that families are homeless not just the children. That is not surprisig and it a good idea to use the buildings.Hope the people feel the same way to donate the money needed. There is a problem in many cities during normal times.
I should also mention that i can relate to a popit as my father had to quite school in the 8th grade to go to work whne his father died;in order to support his mother and sisyers. There was no welfare;section 8 or other assitance available. As yhe said you growup quickly with that respeonsibilty.Seems strange that that help isn;t avilable to thsoe famlies or homes for the parentless children to me. Make me wander about kansas; must be much different than where I live.
I wonder who will be responsible for putting up the $$ to maintain the buildings? These buildings, though vacant, remain the property of the school districts. Will tax dollars be used?

There's at least going to be some relief for the homeless...
Kansas City closes 26 schools to meet $50 million budget shortfall
You cannot even go to school down here unless you have an address and can prove residency in the Cobb County School District. There is no way a homeless kid could go to school here which is kind of funny because the law requires it if the kid is under 16.

Homeless have the right to vote.
"Some states had previously required registrants to live in a “traditional dwelling” in order to register to vote. Judicial decisions in court cases and the enactment of state and federal laws have eliminated that requirement. Today, homeless individuals in all states--including those people who are living on the streets--have the right to register and vote. When registering to vote, homeless voters only need to designate their place of residence, which can be a street corner, a park, a shelter, or any other location where an individual stays at night. Designation of a residential address or location of residence is required to ensure the voter lives within the district in which she/he wishes to register and to assign the voter to the appropriate polling location. Usually, the location of a residence may be indicated by drawing a map or by providing a general descriptive location, if not the address of a shelter." https://nationalhomeless.org/project...galissues.html
