Typically, students experiencing homelessness stay in unsafe situations and are at greater risk, as compared to other students, of trafficking and other vulnerabilities. The closing of schools as a precautionary measure may have the unfortunate effect of having students experiencing homelessness spending more time in unsafe and even traumatic “home” environments, thus exacerbating trauma and a sense of isolation.
School staff, particularly those who already have established positive and supportive relationships with students, should regularly check-in with the students and their families.
