Offering updated guidance for educators, this resource details practical strategies, activities, and tools to support students facing homelessness and housing insecurity, emphasizing collaborative approaches, community partnerships, and interpretation of federal mandates to foster school success.

"Hallett and Skrla have provided a well-timed guide that districts and schools can use to begin meeting these much-needed expectations and improve outcomes for this often-invisible population of students." —Journal of Children and Poverty (first edition)

This popular book is an important professional development tool for practitioners and an essential textbook for teacher, administrator, and school counselor degree programs.

This new edition of Serving Students Who Are Homeless provides updated guidance to help P–20 educators support students who face significant barriers affecting school access and success due to homelessness and housing insecurity. Taking a solutions-oriented approach, the authors include resources for educators and leaders working at school sites, as well as the district-, county-, and state-level educators that support the implementation of promising practices.
For the second edition, the authors add resources and activities based on lessons learned from current research and feedback from schools and districts that use this book for professional development. Expanded applications-to-practice sections appear at the end of each chapter. Also new to this edition, author Ann Aviles brings deeper insights into how schools and districts can more effectively collaborate with community and social service organizations.
