\u201cThese numbers are particularly concerning given the extensive evidence documenting the harmful effects of housing instability on children\u2019s development, health and educational outcomes,\u201d Grace Kim, a research analyst at the UCLA Center for the Transformation of Schools and lead author of the report, said in a statement.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe report makes clear that student homelessness is not only a housing issue, but a complex educational and developmental crisis requiring sustained, coordinated public action,\u201d Kim said.<\/p>\n
The report comes as California has approved a one-time $116 million allocation aimed at helping schools identify K-12 students experiencing homelessness and support their educational success.<\/p>\n
Joseph Bishop, executive director of the Center for the Transformation of Schools and a report author, called the allocation the largest dedicated state investment in the country focused on housing-insecure youth.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe look forward to working with our state\u2019s policymakers and educators to ensure that California\u2019s most housing-insecure students have an equitable opportunity to succeed,\u201d Bishop said. \u201cOur hope is that this new research can serve as a roadmap for prevention and systems change.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cThese numbers are particularly concerning given the extensive evidence documenting the harmful effects of housing instability on children\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":444581,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[48,52,51,47,50,49],"class_list":["post-444580","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/444580","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=444580"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/444580\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/444581"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=444580"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=444580"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=444580"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
