Beyond the Coat Drive: What do youth experiencing homelessness REALLY need?

The “Are ALL the Children Well?” webinar series continued with five additional sessions titled “Are ALL the Children Well? 2.0.” The first of these, “Beyond the Coat Drive: Understanding the True Needs of Youth Experiencing Homelessness,” was held on May 11, 2023.

 

By centering the voices of youth with lived experiences through a panel discussion with three SchoolHouse Connection Scholars, participants:

• Understood the impact of homelessness on student achievement and access to education.
• Identified youth homelessness crises and services that SchoolHouse Connections provided.
• Learned about the barriers students faced and the supports they found most helpful.
