Synopsis

How to Make Bad a Little Better for Kids Experiencing Homelessness

Here in the United States, we're cultivating homelessness right. This iteration of homelessness-babies, toddlers, and young kids-doesn't get attention. But it's needed since these young ones may become homeless adults unless we intervene.

Making Bad a Little Better gives a glimpse into this world of family homelessness. For those curious, or for those who work with or want to work with this underserved population, this book will help you understand who these kids and parents are, and what can be done to make their lives at least a little better.

BONUS: Readers get links to several of my short videos of families sharing their stories of homelessness and what school means to them.

Most people know little about family homelessness, even though families in various homeless situations are everywhere. Even families are confused by the definition of homelessness.

  • Without delving deep into social sciences, readers will learn how we ended up with millions of families in homelessness.

  • Those working with homeless students in school will learn the basics, and get resources to further help.

  • Champions making bad a little better get a shoutout.

  • The importance of the federal McKinney-Vento Education for Homeless Children and Youth Act (EHCYA) is also explained.
