Iowa homeless mostly first-time cases say ISU expert
ISU professor Paula Dail reports that about 87 percent of Iowa homeless are first timers, often driven by job loss and unaffordable housing. She cites 4 600 homeless adults and 2 100 homeless children, with over 80 000 near homeless when vulnerable groups are counted. Foster-care links appear, and shelters are not scarce but can be harsh.
