Minn-LInK Research Brief - Issue No. 59, Spring 2024
Authors: Dupuis, D., Powell, T., & Homework Starts with Home Research Partnership
In this study, we evaluated the Homework Starts with Home (HSWH) pilot program by describing who was served by the program, how many years of support program participants received, and the effect of the program on the use of shelters, school mobility, and school attendance. We found that student homelessness occurs at higher rates among Black, Indigenous, and Hispanic students in the United States, reflecting racism and inequities in housing, family support and educational opportunities. A Discussion Guide as well as Supplemental Tables are also available.
