Webinar Description
This webinar was designed for Homeless Liaisons, Foster Care Points of Contact, and Title I, Part D staff in LEAs across Pennsylvania. It provided an overview of the unique challenges faced by youth experiencing homelessness, involvement in child welfare and juvenile justice systems, and highlighted the federal education programs that serve these intersecting populations. Presenters shared insights, key resources, and action strategies to foster collaboration across federal programs and strengthen supports for these vulnerable youth. Participants engaged in interactive discussions to brainstorm and share approaches to address the needs of students who are neglected, delinquent, or at-risk (Title I, Part D), experiencing homelessness (McKinney-Vento), or in foster care (Title I, Part A).
This webinar was hosted by Center for Schools and Communities and featured representatives from the National Technical Assistance Center for the Education of Neglected or Delinquent Children and Youth (NDTAC), SchoolHouse Connection, and Center for Schools and Communities.
