Description:
This promising practice resource focuses on the way Head Start and Early Head Start grantees are effectively using partnerships to serve homeless children and how other service providers can build relationships with their local Head Start and Early Head Start programs. Evidence from partnerships around the country has shown that these reciprocal relationships help foster an environment of healthy development for young children experiencing homelessness and help move families out of homelessness. This resource will: -Provide background information on Head Start and Early Head Start programs; -Share highlights of how strong partnerships have addressed family homelessness; -Offer resources to encourage Head Start grantees and housing service providers to work together to expand services for children experiencing or at-risk of experiencing homelessness; and -Present resources to help providers connect families to other services they may need.
