McKinney-Vento Homeless Outreach Program
Through a strong partnership with the Torrington Public School District, EdAdvance's grant funded Homeless Outreach Coordinator works directly with school social workers and community providers to support the unique and varied needs of children and youth experiencing homelessness so they come to school ready to learn. The program is designed to build on the normalcy and stability of the school environment in order to overcome barriers to educational engagement. In addition, the Homeless Outreach Coordinator partners with area school districts to ensure compliance with the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act.
