A Child's Place works to erase the impact of homelessness on children and their education. Our vision is to provide stability within the classroom for homeless, at-risk students and, at the same time, assess and strengthen their families to remove barriers that led to the homeless crisis. Our strategy has two essential components: resolve the child's immediate basic needs while creating a case plan that supports his or her continued focus on education in one of our partner schools; and assess and advocate on behalf of the student's family through a case plan to resolve issues that led to the family's immediate homeless crisis. This unique partnership creates a holistic approach to encourage our students to stay focused on their education.
