Number of homeless children on the rise in Las Vegas Valley

Today's R-J reports on yesterday's Project Homeless Connect event held at the Cashman Center. It is estimated that among the more than 13,000 homeless individuals in the Valley, more than 400 of them are children, according to CCSD. They're either living in shelters, cars, parks or RVs.

Is it me or is this an outrage, ladies and gentlemen?

R-J:

Dozens of children were among the thousands of mostly desperate people who attended Tuesday's Project Homeless Connect at Cashman Center, an annual event that aims to help some of the valley's estimated 13,300 homeless people find housing, jobs and other services.

The Clark County School District reported in April that 352 children were living in homeless shelters, with 82 others living in cars, RVs or parks.

On Tuesday, 72 children attended Project Homeless Connect, according to the county.
