Child Care and Early Education for Young Children Experiencing Homelessness

Homelessness can be a traumatic experience for young children, requiring comprehensive services to mitigate the developmental delays and social emotional problems that are associated with homelessness. This research-to-policy report from the National Center for Children in Poverty identifies resources that examine access to and use of early care and education for children experiencing homelessness. Resources include early care and education programs that have been shown to support children experiencing homelessness, as well as state and federal policies that support access to those programs.
