Homeless Support Services provides, free of charge, several educational and advocacy programs to support the education of children in temporary living situations. Children who are living in Suffolk County and who do not have a fixed, regular or adequate place to live are entitled to certain protections under the federal McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act concerning their education. Advocacy is provided for students, (those accompanied by their parents and those who are unaccompanied) parents or anyone working for homeless children in Suffolk County, providing a case by case evaluation and resolution of their needs. The Teacher Liaison acts as a coordinator between schools and community agencies to advocate for these ends. A network of school district Homeless Liaisons and agency professionals meets 4 times a year for all concerned to learn and to support each other for the rights of children under the law. An early intervention program called Mobile-Outreach Parent-Child Home Program serves families with preschool children through home-visiting with an early literacy, language development and parent support program. Homework help is provided in several shelters in Suffolk County to support children in after-school learning. Professional development training is provided county-wide. This office also serves as a clearinghouse of printed information and resources for the success of homeless children in school.
