| dc.description.abstract | In this two-part series of briefs, researchers examine the effects of Harvey on student homelessness in the Houston Independent School District. Brief 1 identifies the characteristics of students who became homeless due to Harvey, comparing students who experienced more temporary stints to those who experienced homelessness for a year or more and those who experienced homelessness for more conventional reasons. Brief 2 looks at the educational outcomes of these students, including chronic absenteeism and achievement on State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness (STAAR) math and reading. The briefs conclude with implications of these findings for educational stakeholders in preparation for both generational and "everyday" homelessness crises. | en_US |
