Across the country, student homelessness is rising. Despite increasing numbers, these students – as well as the school liaisons and state coordinators who support them – report that student homelessness remains an invisible and extremely disruptive problem. Whether students experience homelessness with their families or alone, for a week or a year, the experience is extremely damaging to their ability to stay in school and on track.

Funders Together to End Homelessness invites you to join this webinar to hear from experts who will highlight learnings from their own work at the intersection of education and homelessness and opportunities to get involved. 

Explore: 

  • An overview of the current state of student homelessness.

  • How housing instability impacts student outcomes.
  • How the education system is uniquely suited to address student homelessness.

  • Key policies and practices being implemented across the country.

  • What funders and communities are doing across the country.

  • Opportunities to engage in this work to increase housing stability and improve outcomes for students.
