Book excerpt: Each year, more than a million young people in the United States experience homelessness; some of these young people, known as unaccompanied homeless youth, will face the challenges of homelessness while living on their own without the support of a caring adult. Unaccompanied homeless youth face the same struggles as other young people: trying to do well in school, "fit in", and figure out what their future will look like. Without adult guidance and support, however, they will face these struggles while also working to provide for their own livelihood. Many of these youth hope to attend college, but wonder how they will pay tuition without help from their parents, who will sign important paperwork on their behalf, how they will juggle long work hours and schoolwork, and where they will stay when the dormitories close during holiday and summer breaks. Fortunately, federal laws provide additional support for this vulnerable population. To increase the awareness of post-secondary educators and education administrators of the issue of unaccompanied homeless youth, this brief provides: (1) A better understanding of unaccompanied homeless youth and the educational and other challenges they face; (2) A summary of federal education legislation, including the McKinney-Vento Act and the College Cost Reduction and Access Act, that gives unaccompanied homeless youth access to important educational supports; (3) Samples of promising practices implemented by high schools, colleges, and universities to assist unaccompanied homeless youth in succeeding in college; and (4) Additional resources for more information. (Contains 3 footnotes and 3 resources.).

Book excerpt: Homeless youth and youth in foster care are often unprepared for the transition to adulthood. Given the economic benefits of college, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) was asked to examine the college experiences of these vulnerable youth. GAO examined: (1) college enrollment and completion for foster and homeless youth; (2) the extent to which challenges these youth face affect their ability to pursue college; and (3) the extent to which program barriers hinder these youth from obtaining federal financial assistance for college. GAO analyzed the most recently available Education data--two enrollment data sets, for 2011-2012 and 2013-2014, and data on college completion from 2009; reviewed relevant federal laws and guidance; interviewed officials from the Department of Education and the Department of Health and Human Services, as well as external groups knowledgeable about higher education, foster youth, and homelessness; and held discussion groups with foster and homeless youth. GAO is making six recommendations to the Departments of Education and Health and Human Services to improve homeless and foster youth access to financial assistance for college, including centralizing college information for these youth on the Department of Education's website, clarifying the Department of Education guidance, and considering legislative proposals to simplify federal requirements for homeless and foster youth. The Department of Health and Human Services agreed with these recommendations, while the Department of Education generally did not agree or disagree, but described actions it was taking in response to the recommendations. Appended are: (1) Objectives, Scope, and Methodology; (2) College Enrollment and Completion of Foster Youth and Unaccompanied Homeless Youth Compared to Dependent Students; (3) Comments from the U.S. Department of Education; (4) Comments from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services; and (5) GAO Contact and Staff Acknowledgments.

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.

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.

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.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year, over 1.2 million children and youth identified as homeless in the nation's schools experience educational disruption that is caused by not having a safe and stable place to live (NCHE, 2014). Homeless children and youth face educational challenges that include a lack of basic necessities, such as food, clothing, and medical services; discontinuity of education due to mobility; and trauma caused by the chaos, poverty, and instability of their family's circumstances, or in the case of unaccompanied homeless youth, their own circumstances. Many homeless children and youth have disabilities that create additional challenges for educational progress. The National Center on Family Homelessness reported that children who are homeless, as compared to other children, have three times the rate of emotional and behavioral problems, are four times more likely to show delayed development, and have twice the rate of learning disabilities (NCFH, 2008). Educational barriers homeless children and youth with disabilities face include: (1) not being identified as needing special education services; (2) difficulty with diagnosis due to mobility and other stressors; (3) lack of timely assessment, diagnosis, or service provision; (4) lack of continuity of services due to school transfers; (5) lack of timely or efficient records transfer when enrolling in a new school; and (6) lack of an available parent or surrogate to represent the child or unaccompanied youth. Two federal laws increase the educational stability and support needed to help homeless children and youth with disabilities succeed in school: "Subtitle VII-B of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act" [42 U.S.C. ʹʹ 11431-11435], reauthorized in 2001 by Title X, Part C of the No Child Left Behind Act and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 2004 [20 U.S.C. ʹʹ 1400-1444] (IDEA). This brief reviews the requirements of the McKinney-Vento Act and IDEA so that educators and administrators in education for homeless children and youth (EHCY) programs and special education programs can increase their familiarity with both laws in order to coordinate efforts to improve the educational access and success of homeless children and youth with disabilities. In addition, the brief summarizes specific amendments and implementing regulations in IDEA that address the needs of homeless and highly mobile children and youth with disabilities.

Book excerpt: "The Navigator" is a free newsletter published by the Center for Higher Education Policy Analysis (CHEPA) focusing on directions and trends in higher education policy. The theme of this issue is: "Education and Homeless Youth: Policy Implementations." The lead article, authored by CHEPA director William G. Tierney, describes CHEPA's study of the educational experiences of homeless youth in Los Angeles. The goals of the project were to assist the public school system in developing programs and procedures that improve educational outcomes for homeless youth, and to present data to policymakers and advocacy. Other articles in this issue include: (1) Increasing Access via Mentoring Program (I AM); (2) Community Outreach: Partnering with Homeless Youth and Agencies; and (3) What Should Be Done to Better Serve Homeless Youth? (Patricia Julianelle, Mark Kleger-Heine, Susan Rabinovitz, and Susan Finley). A "First Person" narrative about life as a homeless teenager by Franklin Arburtha is also presented. In 2003, Arburtha made a film to document his experiences called "We're Not Bad Kids." [This document was produced by the Center for Higher Education Policy Analysis (CHEPA).].

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The latest text in the Core Concepts in Higher Education series, this volume speaks to the complex dimensions that higher education scholars and educators need to understand about the shifting role of postsecondary education in the United States. Chapter authors clarify current issues affecting the field, and offer fresh perspectives articulating how policy, demographic, and institutional changes influence the everyday practices of those who work in higher education. This book explores macro perspectives affecting institutional decision-making and processes as well as students’ perspectives on campus—from colleges’ credentialing procedures to the current demographic changes in students’ enrollments, to students’ social identities. Guiding questions at the end of each chapter offer readers an opportunity to frame discussions in which they can engage and invite readers to consider avenues for future research and exploration. This is a valuable resource for graduate students, administrators, and researchers who seek to understand and improve the policies and contexts of higher education today.

This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students experiencing homelessness often face overwhelming obstacles that limit both their access to education and their prospects for success in life. The McKinney-Vento Act (1987) was created to ensure that schools provide services that support students in unstable housing situations but, unfortunately, effective implementation of important provisions continues to be elusive. In addition, adults charged with McKinney-Vento implementation in schools voice frustration with overload and lack of support or consistent resources. Through interviews with youth experiencing homelessness, Aviles de Bradley introduces readers to their remarkable resilience under fire and their determination to thrive despite the systemic inequities they encounter daily. The book also explores how poor people of colour experience and interface with social institutions, namely schools, and uncovers important connections between homelessness and racism using a Critical Race Theory framework. Readers are challenged to see McKinney-Vento implementation not as charity, but as an issue of legislated social justice and to work towards educational equity for students experiencing homelessness.

The myriad of challenges faced by youth experiencing homelessness on their own puts these students at risk of dropping out or school failure. Subtitle VII-B of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (reauthorized under Title X, Part C of the No Child Left Behind Act) guarantees rights and services for homeless students, including specific supports for unaccompanied homeless youth. This brief describes the challenges unaccompanied homeless youth face, explains key provisions of the McKinney-Vento Act, and suggests proven strategies from across the country for supporting the educational success of this vulnerable population.

The report is comprised of five sections. The first section, "Introduction," surveys factors contributing to homelessness and indicates the special needs of young people who are homeless. The second section, "Problems in Educating Homeless Children and Youth," examines the following situations: (1) legal barriers, including residency requirements and guardianship requirements; (2) financial constraints, including family-related financial problems and school-related financial problems; (3) institutional impediments, including lack of records, placement in inappropriate programs, lack of coordination, and educational performance problems; and (4) social and psychological concerns, including stress, social acceptance, and self-esteem. The third section, "Federal Legislation for the Homeless," describes provisions of the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act for homeless education. The fourth section, "Programs that Work," describes transitional programs in Tacoma (Washington), Salt Lake City (Utah), and San Diego (California), and mainstreamed programs in Venice (California), and New York City.

Book excerpt: This dissertation explores the lived experiences of unaccompanied homeless youth on college campuses where the safety and security of the federal McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act is no longer a present safeguard. This research project explores the barriers that these students face while attending postsecondary education, and their lived experiences through that process while using a phenomenological lens to explore the structures of experience, and a hermeneutic approach to interpret and find meaning. The theoretical framework for this qualitative study is based on the literature for resilience and social capital. All interviews were conducted both in person or via a phone interview, transcribed verbatim, analyzed, and subsequently five themes emerged from the conversations. Through this lens, the overarching central theme of unpreparedness to navigate college emerged that included five common themes: (1) Barriers to the Free Application for Federal Student Aid process, (2) lack of adequate student engagement on campus, (3) housing/food insecurities, (4) a sense that these institutions lacked adequate programs and support for unaccompanied youth, and (5) a need for access to staff or faculty on campus with whom they felt comfortable sharing their personal stories in an attempt to seek assistance. Study findings suggest that for these students, having the support of an institution and/or individuals on campus can potentially lead to success or failure. This study hopes to provide a voice to this sub-population of homeless students and a tool for colleges and universities to use that is aligned with their mission and core values.

In the fully revised and updated edition of this important volume, the editors and chapter contributors explore how diverse populations of students experience college differently and encounter group-specific barriers to success. Informed by relevant theories, each chapter focuses on engaging a different student population, including: low-income students, students of color, international students, students with disabilities, LGBT students, religious minority students, student-athletes, homeless students, transfer students, commuter and part-time students, adult learners, student veterans, and graduate students. The forward-thinking, practical strategies offered throughout the book are based on research and the collected professional wisdom of experienced educators and scholars at two-year and four-year institutions of higher education. Current and future faculty, administrators, and student affairs staff will undoubtedly find this book complete with fresh ideas to reverse troubling engagement trends among various college student populations.

White, chancellor of The California State University “These skilled authors provide invaluable insights into homelessness and guidance for how we can respond. This is important work that should be shared throughout higher education!” —Peter Miller, University of Wisconsin–Madison “This is a must-read for higher education professionals who want to support students affected by issues of housing insecurity and homelessness.” —Robert D. Reason, Iowa State University “This book not only enlightens leaders but also helps campuses to develop meaningful action plans through local evaluation and planning.” —Adrianna Kezar, University of Southern California
