Welcome to the very first podcast of the Children’s Work Group Early Childhood Committee. We are group of practitioners and advocates from various different systems in Philadelphia whose common feature is that we all work with young children who experience homelessness. Your hosts today are Malkia Singleton of the Parent Child+ home visiting program and myself, Joe Willard, of the People’s Emergency Center.

Today’s discussion will feature a round-table discussion by front line staff and leaders in home visiting programs here in Philadelphia. We asked them a series of questions about their experiences working with young children who experience homelessness, their challenges, and their hopes.  We recorded this conversation at the March Children’s Work Group meeting.
