Did you know that students facing housing instability and homelessness are at a much higher risk of chronic absenteeism? When children lack a stable home environment, their ability to attend school regularly and succeed academically is deeply impacted. At Truancy Intervention Project Georgia, we’re working to address the root causes of truancy, including housing challenges, to help every child stay on track. Together, we can support our students in achieving a brighter, more stable future. Let’s make a difference!
