SchoolHouse Connection
Here at SchoolHouse Connection, we work to overcome homelessness through education. We believe education is the only permanent solution to homelessness. Our vision is that children and youth experiencing homelessness have full access to quality learning, birth through higher education, so they will never be homeless as adults, and the next generation will never be homeless.
