Education for Children & Youth Experiencing Homelessness

We work to reduce and remove educational barriers for youth experiencing homelessness in Philadelphia. If you’re a student living in emergency housing, displaced from your housing, a runaway, or a parent or guardian of a student lacking housing, or someone working with students experiencing homelessness and their families, our office is here to help you obtain any assistance you might be eligible for, including education resources, transportation help, and  uniform assistance.
