This book was released on 2018-01-24 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both colleges and policymakers recognize the importance of supporting students experiencing homelessness in higher education. The challenges involve both addressing issues of college access as well as developing strategies to support retention and degree completion once enrolled. This volume explores how homelessness intersects most social issues that marginalize individuals and negatively influence postsecondary completion, including poverty, foster care, and LGBTQ+ discrimination. As becomes evident, students experiencing homelessness should be considered in conversations about equity and access. For these students, completing some form of degree or certification beyond high school is a vital step in achieving future stability. Topics covered include: how residential experiences influence educational engagement and retention an overview of research related to housing insecurity in higher education federal and state policies related to homelessness in higher education a trauma-informed care approach to this issue an approach to understanding and studying housing insecurity among students ideas that will be necessary for policy and program development.

Book excerpt: Have you ever met a student that was homeless in college? And what does a 2014 VW Passat, a U-Haul truck, a Student Union, a laundry room and a lawn chair have in common? When I've been homeless, that's where I slept. Even at a Division 1 college. I was homeless three times in 2011. I struggled balancing full-time work, school and taking on full responsibility of my 2-year-old son. I recall sleeping in a U-Haul truck for a week in 2011 with my son and not knowing what to do because I couldn't find a job. I was taking my son to interviews with me.

Best Practices in Homeless Education Brief Series written by National Center for Homeless Education at SERVE. and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the College Cost Reduction and Access Act ([CCRAA], 20 U.S.C. ʹ 1001 et seq.) was signed into law in September of 2007, the issue of college access for youth experiencing homelessness has garnered increased attention. Among other provisions, the CCRAA confers independent student status on unaccompanied homeless youth. This status allows these youths' federal financial aid packages to be calculated based on their own income and assets, and not those of their parent(s) or guardian(s), and eliminates the need for the signature of a parent or guardian on the youths' Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This CCRAA provision has helped to ensure that unaccompanied homeless youth have access to the financial support necessary to pay for college. Gaining entry to college and securing financial aid, however, are only the first steps along the path to degree completion. While college entry statistics for low-income, first-generation college students demonstrate a modest narrowing of the gap between students in the top and bottom income quartiles (The Pell Institute 2015), bachelor's degree attainment statistics are far less encouraging. In response to the continued gap in degree attainment between low-income and high-income students, post-secondary institutions around the country are building programs aimed at providing post-matriculation support for students at high risk of dropping out, including students experiencing homelessness. This brief examines how the following universities are supporting their homeless student populations with the intention of spotlighting promising practices that may be replicated at other post-secondary institutions across the country: (1) Florida State University (FSU); (2) Kennessaw State University (KSU); and (3) the University of Massachusetts Boston (UMB). Chosen for their varying approaches to program development, these institutions demonstrate what can be done with no dedicated funding, a modest investment of institutional funding, and a fully-funded university center.

Download or read book Serving Students Who Are Homeless written by Ronald E. Hallett and published by Teachers College Press. This book was released on 2016-12-16 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Schools and districts are seeing unprecedented numbers of students and families living without residential stability. Although the McKinney-Vento Act has been around for over two decades, many district- and site-level practitioners have a difficult time interpreting and implementing the Acts mandates within their local contexts. This book provides much-needed guidance to help educational leaders support students who are homeless and highly mobile students who face significant barriers related to access and academic success. The authors employ several different strategies to help translate complex state and federal policies into effective practices. They include policy analysis, examples of successful approaches, tools for training staff, youth experiences, and address the role of school districts in serving marginalized students. Serving Students Who Are Homeless can be used as a professional development tool at the local and district level, and as a textbook in higher education settings that prepare entry-level and advanced-credential administrators, counselors, school psychologists, and curriculum leaders.

Book excerpt: So, you think you've made it far after your hustling days of college? Think life has arrived since you've got a little piece of paper that boasts your name beautifully written in calligraphy? Life is just beginning and sadly, it's not as predictable as we brilliant social scientists predicted. Harvard to Homeless: A College Graduate/Drop-Out's Guide to Surviving Potential Homelessness brings a new spin on the woes of the "twenty-somethings" midst the infamous Quarter-Life Crisis. Aeden Keffelew, a graduate from Duke University and a drop-out from Teacher's College, Columbia University, writes a humorous and thought-provoking survival guide based on a letter she sent to Duke officials and faculty about the financial pains of life post-college. The letter led to a campus-wide personal finance initiative at Duke University in April of 2012. The guide delves into the ironic and complicated necessities of a shoe-string budget, partying with a purpose in college, post-grad job droughts and surviving potential homelessness for the lost generation. A must-read for a true twenty-something year old seeker of unconventional wisdom and wit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this autobiography, Anthony takes the reader through his harrowing past of ending up homeless at age 13 in Washington, D.C., after the death of his grandmother and escaping being murdered by his mother with a meat cleaver one night due to her habitual drug use. Despite his undeserved past, he was able to earn his GED and leave a homeless shelter behind after getting accepted into a University in North Carolina in 2009. From being a 4.0 student and apart of numerous honor societies since freshmen year, Anthony prepares the reader to experience what it was like being homeless at age 13, to becoming one out of 14 homeless students in the country recognized by the United States of America's Interagency Council on Homelessness and being elected Student Body President of the university his junior year all while graduating Magna Cum Laude in the top percentile of his graduating class in year 2013. This is his story.

Book excerpt: Every winter night the Harvard Square Homeless Shelter brings together society's most privileged and marginalized groups under one roof: Harvard students and the homeless. What makes the shelter unique is that it is operated entirely by Harvard College students. It is the only student-run homeless shelter in the United States. Shelter demonstrates how the juxtaposition of privilege and poverty inside the Harvard Square Shelter proves transformative for the homeless men and women taking shelter there, the Harvard students volunteering there, and the wider society into which both groups emerge each morning. In so doing, Shelter makes the case for the replication of this student-run model in major cities across the United States. Inspiring and energizing, Shelter offers a unique window into the lives of America's poorest and most privileged citizens as well as a testament to the powerful effects that can result when members of these opposing groups come together.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ethnographic exploration of contemporary spaces of homelessness takes an expanded view of homeless space, threading together experiences of organizational spaces, routes taken through the city and the occupation of public space. Through engaging with participants' accounts of movement and place, the book argues that young homeless people become fixed in mobility, a condition that impacts on both everyday life and possible futures. Based on an innovative multi-method study of a day centre in London for young homeless people, the book contextualizes spaces of homelessness within the social relations and flows of people that produce the world city. The book considers how the biographical and everyday trajectories of young homeless people intersect with place attachments and forms of governance to produce urban homeless spaces. It provides a new angle on the city made by movement, foregrounding the impact of mobilities shaped by loss, violence and the search for opportunity. The book draws on mental maps, photography, interviews and observation in order to produce an engaging and rich ethnographic account of young homeless people in the city.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to describe the experience of college for homeless students. Using a phenomenological approach, the researcher completed interviews in which participants were asked to describe what college was like for them. The interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using a hermeneutic approach. All interviews were analyzed within the contexts of each other to identify themes. The participants all lived in a world of homelessness that they could never fully ignore. The world of homelessness was grounded in the contexts of the body and other people. An encompassing central theme of "Escaping the Homeless World through College" wove throughout the interviews as students described the ways in which college did or would help them escape. This central theme was divided into longand short-term escapes. Three themes emerged within the central theme including: (a) "Meeting Basic Needs," (b) "Emotional Stress," and (c) "Isolation." Each theme revealed the ways in which the world of homelessness intruded on and created barriers to the participants' college goals. The theme "Meeting Basic Needs" contained the sub-theme "Lack of Ability to Focus on Studies" and the theme "Isolation" contained the sub-theme of "Independence." Study findings suggest that homeless college students experience physical, emotional, and interpersonal challenges that hinder their ability to perform in school even though they are motivated to attain a college degree that they think will enable them to escape homelessness and find a job that will provide stability and security.

Book excerpt: An updated and expanded edition of the gritty, challenging, and utterly captivating portait of the homeless crisis. Ever Wonder What it Would Be Like to Live Homeless? Mike Yankoski did more than just wonder. By his own choice, Mike's life went from upper-middle class plush to scum-of-the-earth repulsive overnight. With only a backpack, a sleeping bag and a guitar, Mike and his traveling companion, Sam, set out to experience life on the streets in six different cities—from Washington D.C. to San Diego— and they put themselves to the test. For more than five months the pair experienced firsthand the extreme pains of hunger, the constant uncertainty and danger of living on the streets, exhaustion, depression, and social rejection—and all of this by their own choice. They wanted to find out if their faith was real, if they could actually be the Christians they said they were apart from the comforts they’d always known…to discover first hand what it means to be homeless in America. What you encounter in these pages will radically alter how you see your world—and may even change your life.

Book excerpt: PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONI remember asking myself "how could this happen to me? I'm a hard worker but nothing is going right." A look of destruction controlled my dark blue eyes. I thought life was over. I'll never forget it. From sleeping in a lawn chair to making a huge change in my life. I chased positive momentum. I continued making monumental changes. Growing up poor, options seem limited. Nobody held my hand, or discussed my options for the future, but people did laugh at me. If being poor is a mindset, then education doesn't matter.That's farther from the truth.Wrapped around a personal story and self-help, this book seems to fit two categories. Graduating high school and finding homelessness an issue shortly thereafter, this destructing life was all I knew.I worked hard but nothing seemed to work.Inadequate education equaled no progress and unlimited problems. When I worked hard, people laughed even harder. I've heard time and time again from numerous people that I was the hardest worker they'd ever met. And yet, time after time, I found myself in desperate situations.I slept in a lawn chair in the summer of 2015. It was a tipping point in my path searching for change. After finding my efforts crumble year after year, I had enough. Homelessness would not win. I developed a new personality. I searched for change. After all, the best me benefits everything and everyone around me, right?Forget the name Homeless in College for a moment. This book is what I learned during a war of adversity. And what would be the reason to write a book?Impact.Times have changed.I vowed to eradicate homelessness in my life. My story is important, for many reasons. It provides hope and education. It holds onto positive action. It's not the easy way, it's the smart way. You will be guided by the education I have learned. For example: I'll guide you into the vitality of self-education. I'll give you insight on why teachers and mentors help you win. I'll give you insight on continually adapting in life. I'll guide you to learning the importance of hard work, your odds of success, what college is about, and why I left my hometown to chase a better life. I discuss how much the world has changed, what happiness entails, why you should love people and ten reasons you must stay grateful through the process of change.
