The SSVF National Webinar, originally scheduled for April 13, will now be on April 27, 2017.
Topic 1: Increasing Access
for Low-Income Vulnerable Homeless Families with Young Children
Early childhood education
is a critical component for healthy developing children. Yet, despite what we
know about the importance of high quality early childhood opportunities, many
children in the United States lack access to quality programs, especially
children from low income families and vulnerable young children experiencing
homelessness. This webinar profiles the impacts on young children and families
experiencing homelessness, highlights relevant laws and federal programs, and
identifies strategies that have been effective in supporting the unique needs
of young children and families who find themselves homeless.
