In 2023, public schools identified over 1.5 million children experiencing homelessness, a number that grew 28% in three years. Because of the power of public schools and legislation like the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act of 1987, barriers are being removed, lives are being transformed, and homeless children are reaching their full potential. This episode of Teach Reach Inspire features McKinney-Vento programs in Bossier and Caddo Parish and discusses how they serve as a vital partner in teaching children, reaching families, and inspiring communities.
