bullet  Overview

In cooperation with local Macomb County school districts we can assist parents and their families while they are temporarily between homes.

Educational Services available:

  • Assistance with enrollment in school and transfer of student records.

  • Liaison between family and school personnel

  • Assistance with school transportation

  • School supplies and backpacks

  • Referrals to community agencies for food, medical, dental
    and optical care

  • Assistance with student clothing and/or shoes.

Children often move, causing them to frequently change schools and fall behind academically. These children usually live in overcrowded conditions. There is often a lack of basic resources such as appropriate clothing, food, transportation and money for basic school supplies. School is one of the few stable and secure places in a homeless child's life.

A student is considered to be "homeless" if, due to a lack of housing they must reside in a shelter, motel, vehicle or campground, on the street, in abandoned buildings or doubled-up with relatives or friends due to economic hardship or eviction.  A student can become homeless due to a house fire or other natural disaster resulting in a temporary or permanent loss of their home.

Kathleen Kropf is available for informational presentations to school personnel, PTO, or student groups, or community organizations at any time.  Please contact her directly to set this up.
