Fewer Absences, More Stability: Six Years of Evidence on School-Housing Partnerships
Time: 12-1:15 PM Eastern
About the Webinar
Learn about new evidence on the importance of school-housing partnerships. Join researchers from Boston College, the Early Homelessness Intervention and Prevention program (EHIP), and SchoolHouse Connection to learn what a recent evaluation uncovered about why school-housing partnerships matter — including how these partnerships translated to tangible outcomes for students and families, such as improved housing stability and decreased rates of chronic absenteeism.
In this webinar, the Boston College researchers will share what they found, how the program was sustained and scaled, and what it means for communities building school-housing partnerships of their own.
This webinar is designed for both school liaisons and housing partners. If you work in a school, share it with your housing counterpart. If you’re in housing, share it with your local liaison.
