NYC Education Department, Department of Homeless Services to Target Students at Risk of Becoming Homeless

The city Education Department is teaming up for the first time with the Department of Homeless Services to target students who are at risk for becoming homeless.

Workers from both agencies are visiting 25 of the city’s most at-risk schools this week to raise awareness of services available from the city’s Homebase anti-homelessness program.

Those services include help with rent, financial counseling and job training.
