Information by Topic: Collaboration Community and Cross-Program Collaboration Housing Agency and School District Collaborations to Serve Homeless and Highly Mobile Students This brief, part of NCHE's new Best Practices in Homeless Education series, examines several successful housing agency and school district collaborations from across the nation and explains how this type of collaboration can help reduce the frequency of family moves and promote school stability for students experiencing homelessness. Program: Spokane Valley HEART Program Location: Spokane, WA Contact: Leslie Camden Goold, Lead Consortia Liaison Phone: (509) 228-4114 E-mail: LCamdengoold@cvsd.org Program Description: The Spokane Valley HEART Program is a collaboration of the Central Valley, East Valley, and West Valley School Districts to address and support the educational needs of students who are in temporary and transitional housing. This program works closely with the Spokane Valley Community Center, various shelter and housing providers, and the City and County of Spokane. These groups work together to assure that students, and their families, in transitional situations feel supported and encouraged while they secure permanent housing. The Program also works in collaboration with other school districts, including Spokane Public Schools, Mead, Freeman, Cheney, and others in an effort to create a county-wide network to support students in homeless situations. Program: Wisconsin Education for Homeless Children and Youth (EHCY) Program Location: Wisconsin Contact: Linda Hurst, Preschool Consultant Phone: (262) 723-6560, (608) 266-5184 E-mail: linda.hurst@dpi.state.wi.us Program Description: The Education for Homeless Children and Youth (EHCY) program of the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction collaborates with Head Start, Birth-to-3, Early Childhood Special Education, Title 1, Migrant Education, Child Care, and Even Start to assist homeless parents in enrolling their preschool children into early care and education programs. The Wisconsin EHCY has on staff an LTE preschool consultant that works with Head Start and other state-wide early education and care programs to help homeless families enroll their preschool children. |
