When mom is out of options, she sends her kids to
live with a relative. They switch schools again. They
are separated from their parent. They have no
friends. Their teachers do not know their names.
Children who face homelessness get behind in
school. More than a third repeat a grade. They have
emotional and physical health problems. And by
age 12, 83% have been exposed to at least one
serious violent event.
At the Central Arkansas Family Stability Institute at
Our House, we will partner with families before they
become homeless. We will wrap them in support,
coaching them through the obstacles they face that
could lead to homelessness and preparing them for
long-term stability and success.
