Family Resource Center reports housing supports, $3,100 deposit to stabilize a family
Summary
Cheryl reported work assisting McKinney‑Vento (houseless) students—41% transferred out last year, 8% graduated and 9% remain McKinney‑Vento—and described a $3,100 deposit used to secure housing for a family and ongoing outreach plans.
Cheryl, director of the Family Resource Center, summarized services provided to McKinney‑Vento (houseless) students and families, including setting up doctor appointments, loaning Chromebooks, providing gas vouchers for sports participation, and distributing basic needs such as clothing and diapers.
She said a recent intake analysis showed 41% of McKinney‑Vento students transferred out of the district last year, 8% graduated and 9% remained McKinney‑Vento. Cheryl highlighted an example in which the SIT (service integration team) provided a $3,100 deposit to help a family secure stable housing; the district’s investment in the SIT was described as enabling leverage of other funds so the district’s net cost was about $50.
Cheryl said the Family Resource Center plans outreach and volunteer opportunities, and invited board members to participate in its June 17 pool event for families. The board did not take formal action; the report was informational.
