If a homeless student is worrying about where he is spending the night, it’s likely he’s not going to be thinking much about his homework. And in one of the poorest districts in Kansas, educators have realized that to help homeless students they needed to do more to help homeless families.

Homelessness

This community is a space for Housing Is members interested in issues related to homelessness. Unstable housing can lead to a multitude of deleterious effects for adults and children like school churning and toxic stressors, which have life-long implications. The Housing Is initiative stands on the notion that these systems are all interconnected, and it is only through cross-sector collaboration that we will build the partnerships that will help improve lives.
