Enrolling Children and Young Families Experiencing Homelessness in Early Head Start

Building strong working relationships with community partners is key to supporting children and families experiencing homelessness. Early Head Start (EHS) programs can prioritize enrollment for pregnant and parenting young families by building partnerships with local Maternity Group Homes (MGHs). For EHS programs with a local MGH in the area, these partnerships increase critical supports to young families experiencing homelessness.

In this webinar, learn about the MGH program, funded by the Administration for Children and Families' Family and Youth Services Bureau. Discover how one MGH and EHS program are working together to serve the needs of pregnant and parenting youth.

Topics for the webinar include:

• Learning about the MGH program and ways to enroll more children and young families experiencing homelessness
• Discovering the challenges and unique needs of young families experiencing homelessness
• Educating staff about reducing the stigma of homelessness and providing trauma-informed approaches to young families and their children experiencing homelessness

Target Audience:

• EHS and Head Start directors, managers, and parent leaders
• MGH program directors, managers, and staff
• Training and Technical Assistance providers
• Other early childhood leaders who support children and their families
