3.13 Collaborating with Schools to Serve Children and Youth
Homelessness can be extremely disruptive to school attendance and performance. Public schools across the country are increasingly identifying homeless children and unaccompanied homeless youth. This workshop will examine partnerships that homeless service providers have forged with schools in order to better respond to both the housing and educational needs of students. These collaborations help identify youth and families in need of housing assistance, provide safe and developmentally appropriate housing, and help children stay engaged in school.
