Referral Guide for Homeless Children, Youth and Families
October 1, 2006 / By Patrick Burns, Daniel Flaming and Rick Mantley / the Los Angeles County Office of Education
We all have a stake in helping children and youth whose lives have been disrupted by lack of safe, permanent and adequate housing to achieve success in learning, growing and maturing. Beyond ensuring school enrollment and attendance this stake also includes working with others to help homeless children and families meet basic survival needs and overcome the trauma of homelessness.
