The US Senate HELP Committee is holding a hearing on the reopening of schools post #COVID19 at 10AM. As schools reopen, we need to continue to elevate the realities of children, youth, and families who are #homeless so that their needs are centered in solutions moving forward.

It’s important to recognize that many of the #homelessyouth we serve aren’t in their situation simply as a result of choices they’ve made, but more often because of unfortunate things that have happened to them. readingeagle.com/news/articl…

Students experiencing homelessness face a wide range of challenges to their health, well-being, and education. But with the proper school supports and personnel who are trained to recognize and advocate for their needs, these children can not only succeed, but thrive.

A8: Many formerly incarcerated individs aren’t given 2nd chance they need. W/ limited employers who will step up, there are limited options. Many then struggle with #homelessness & possible re-incarceration. Change is possible if more businesses remove barriers to hiring. #upchat
