How Coordinated Efforts Can Help Prevent Infant and Toddler Homelessness
Ten state teams each received $100,000 to educate policymakers on infant homelessness affecting 450,000 children nationwide, promoting evidence-based prevention strategies.
- Recently, Thrive From the Start, a cross-sector national network, announced grants to state teams to educate state and local constituencies about infant homelessness.
- Data show children face greatest homelessness risk during their first year as families in homeless shelters rise; nationwide 450,000 infants and toddlers experience homelessness, including 70,000 babies born to homeless mothers within 12 months.
- Among the partners are Housing Is, the National Collaborative for Infants & Toddlers, Prevent Child Abuse America, SchoolHouse Connection and Zero To Three, who emphasize collaborating across sectors for prevention strategies.
- When families have safe, stable housing, access to early development programs and supports, young children gain a stronger foundation, and advocates say uniting early childhood, housing and homelessness sectors can prevent homelessness.
- Because infant homelessness is often invisible, the network stresses acting now to meet the urgent needs of babies and their families, noting pregnant people and families with young children face less visible instability.
