Every Student, Every Day for Shelters
In partnership with the Department of Homeless Services, the Office of Community Schools has implemented Every Student Every Day in Shelters. Family Assistants work with Shelter Staff to meet weekly, assign Success Mentors and draw on community resources to help students living in shelter get the support they need to stay and succeed in school.
