In November 2020, practitioners, researchers, and policymakers united to interpret evidence around student homelessness.
Attendees interrogated the complexities of homelessness among children and youth, and discussed ways that these insights could be used to inform decisions around homelessness solutions.
The Homework Starts with Home Research Partnership is a collaborative state-university-school-community project designed to integrate multisystem administrative data and analyze it in order to produce and disseminate high quality evidence pertinent to addressing the State and national challenge of student homelessness.
