Current Project

In the 2007-2008 school year (most recent data), 794,617 homeless youth were reported (an underestimate) enrolled in public schools (a 7% increase from 2006-2007). Educational barriers include being unable to meet enrollment requirements; lack of educational continuity, transportation, and school supplies.

Dr. Martin’s Training and Development course is working on an Open Source Mobile (web-enabled phones donated to students) Moodle Integration for homeless youth, using state standards to facilitate continuing educational opportunities and subsequent employment opportunities. See naehcy.org/facts.html#impact for more information on homeless education.
