Thompson Child & Family Focus - A Child's Place Program Details
The mission of A Child's Place (ACP) is to erase the impact of homelessness on children and their education. We provide critical support and referrals to children and their families experiencing a homeless crisis. ACP supports a new case load each year, enrolling students and families as they become homeless and providing support for the remainder of the school year.Our program model is multi-generational, serving both students and their families. Student Advocates create individualized student support plans to keep students in school, demonstrating healthy behaviors and promoting academic success, while meeting their basic needs. Social Workers identify needs and make referrals for employment, health issues, food, domestic violence, financial management and housing in order to address the issues that led to the homeless crisis.
