Support for Students Experiencing Homelessness in the time of COVID

A new school year is beginning. And its very different, due to Covid-19. How will homeless students be supported? What do we need to do? To help answer these questions, the Children's Work Group invited the School District of Philadelphia's Colleen Landy and Al Quarles to discuss their work to supporting all students who experience homelessness. Ms. Landy and Mr. Quarles are experts in supporting children and youth experiencing homelessness and identified more than 7,000 children and youth last year. They help anyone who needed help with access to school, supplies, and more. PEC's Roz Edwards and Kamal Marell lead the discussion, along with CWG Co-Chair Malkia Singleton.
