Last year, more than 146,000 NYC students experienced homelessness. While NYS & NYC work to help families find permanent housing, they must *also* focus more attention on helping students who are homeless succeed in school.?https://lnkd.in/eRgda8vD

Today, we're releasing data showing that last year, more than 146,000 NYC students—roughly one in every 8—experienced homelessness. While the City works to help families find permanent housing, it must *also* focus more attention on helping students who are homeless succeed in school. As we’ve seen in previous years, students experiencing homelessness are especially concentrated in upper Manhattan, the southwest Bronx, and parts of northeast/central Brooklyn. In both the Bronx & Manhattan, nearly 1 in 6 students did not have a permanent place to call home. Student homelessness is a longstanding challenge for New York City Public Schools: 2023–24 was the *9th year in a row* in which more than 100K students were identified as homeless. Students who are homeless—especially those living in shelter—face tremendous obstacles to success in school. Given what we know about disparities in academic outcomes, the increase in the number of students who are homeless only underscores the need for funding to help meet these students’ needs.

Last week, SCO joined children in classrooms throughout the country to read Piper Chen Sings by Phillipa Soo as part of Read for the Record, the world’s largest shared reading experience. The annual initiative raises awareness of the critical importance of early literacy. Thank you Councilman Chris Banks for reading! #SCOFamilyofServices #ReadfortheRecord

Thank you to Sonny and Anthony from Roccos Voice for Autism for their generous donation of four communication boards to help youth at SCO's Robert J. McMahon Children’s Center (RJMCC) express themselves. Thank you also to Councilwoman Vicki Walsh who attended and presented Sonny with a citation from the town of Oyster Bay. SCO's RJMCC in Nassau County provides 24-hour care to children and adolescents with developmental disabilities. Residents of RJMCC attend the Tyree Learning Center, a special education school designed to accommodate the children’s needs.
